Better Handwriting in 6 Weeks

Is handwriting getting in the way of your child's success at school?

Is your student's handwriting becoming a problem at home or in school? Are you afraid they won't score well on standardized tests such as the MCAS or ERB because the test reviewer won't be able to read their essays due to poor handwriting?

We are here to help with a 6-week remediation course! This course is for students who need help forming their letters and/or numbers so they are neat, orderly, legibly and spaced appropriately! At Top Banana Education Foundation we use the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum to teach your student the easiest, least strenuous way to write neatly!

Here is what one mom wrote to us:
"Daniel is doing a fantastic job with printing at school. He told me yesterday that he finally sees the difference and understands what 'neat' means. It amazes me how little time it takes for a truly good teacher to fix problems that have been on-going for years...Daniel is far from done learning from you but I feel like saying 'Thank you!' already."

Handwriting is still an important part of a student's life today, even with all the wonderful technology out there. It is still the primary way students do their schoolwork; in fact, students spend up to 60% of their day writing compared to 20% or less in technology. If their teacher can't read what is written it doesn't matter what the content is, the student is going to do poorly. It is also a proven fact students retain more information when they take notes by writing versus typing. Help your student succeed for years to come just by having them attend our 6-week course.
