Speed Writing
Typically, children need about 15 hours to mend their handwriting & master a single style of writing. However, for a Mother, the child’s trainer, each course may require 6 to 9 hours of dedicated practice (depending on the trainer’s personal ability), spanning across 3 days, to mend & master the style!
Every course covers the main ingredients of great handwriting:
Formation of letters
Spacing between words & lines
Proper Orientation
As important as the ingredients are, so is the recipe! And so, we also deep dive into:
Pro Tip: If your child is below the age of 13, we recommend beginning with Cursive Writing & Speed Writing. Print Writing is better learned once cursive is mastered.
Let’s say you fell sick & had to visit the doctor. The doctor prescribed you medication, but you look down at the prescription and all of a sudden you struggle to get the names right even though you double-checked their names with the doctor – we’ve all been there. “Is this an ‘m’ or an ‘n’? Is this a ‘p’ or a ‘q’?”, doubts flood your mind. Unless you’re a pharmacist, you’re probably fated to remain baffled for a while.
As adults, we need our writing to be legible, pleasant to look at for countless functions ranging from having to write your colleague a quick birthday note to fill out an important bank form. Without legibility and speed, several of your tasks become harder than they need to be – if not for you, stand assured, they do for your colleagues, friends & family. So good handwriting clearly goes a long way!
While your handwriting can be repaired, irrespective of your age (yes, even when you’re 50), the sooner you start, the better.
For children, good handwriting not only becomes an important life skill in the long run but also equals an added advantage in academics. We’ve all been the child who lost those 2 marks to poor handwriting – all because the teacher had to spend an extra 10-minutes figuring out what we were trying to say!
“But in this digital day & age, why is writing even important?”
The benefits of having good handwriting go far & beyond legibility.
Some well-known advantages of writing, instead of typing are:
Better memory & learning
A study titled “The pen is mightier than the keyboard” found that students who took handwritten notes over typed notes, were able to recall as well as reiterate the concepts taught to them in their own words, which demonstrates a deeper understanding of the concept. Whereas, students that chose to type their notes had a stunted understanding of the concept & thereby limited recall.
Treating Dyslexia & other learning disabilities
Simply put, Dyslexia is the disconnect between the language & auditory centers of the brain. When writing, cursive in particular, the brain attempts to connect the two centers by integrating various other centers of the brain: hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills & other memory, and brain functions. This aids the treatment of Dyslexia.
Improved academic performance & confidence
With consistent practice, better handwriting (especially cursive) can give the child a sense of achievement, encourage better learning & memory, offer more dexterity: all leading to better confidence & academic performance!
These are some of the most tangible & impactful advantages of choosing to write over type!
“Okay, but if my child’s handwriting is legible enough, then why does he/she need to improve his/her handwriting?”

Creates an impression
Great handwriting always creates a strong impression - no matter how true or false it may be! It goes beyond the importance of legibility and gives the reader an impression of who you are as a person.
Extra Marks: The added advantage
It is a common practice among several schools, teachers, and examiners to reward additional marks to students with better handwriting. This stands true for school exams as well as several milestone examinations such as their Class 10 & 12 exams as well as competitive exams.
The benefits of having good handwriting go far & beyond legibility.
