Yes! It is important for your child to know how to print and handwrite!

Handwriting Without Tears™

​As more and more classrooms are turning to digital learning, we are learning the importance of handwriting skills and how fine motor skills translates to more effective and efficient handwriting skills, which in turns means better comprehension and retention of material over typed notes.  If a child has difficulty with either his fine motor skills or visual perceptual skills, printing and cursive becomes a daunting task and often times leads to frustration and anger over completing homework.
"Maya absolutely LOVES this class and she looks forward to it all week! Miss Jen has created such a wonderful learning environment - Maya's fine motor skills have improved greatly and she's having a blast along the way!" 
-Usha, Oak Brook Mom to 5yo Maya
