A Message from the AuthorDear Student,
I developed this book to help you achieve good handwriting skills. Why is good handwriting so important? Even though we use computers a lot now, you still write by hand every day. You write answers on quizzes and tests. You write to complete homework assignments. You write to express what you know and what you think. Improving your handwriting skills will help you in every subject!
If you have any questions about handwriting or this book, write me a letter. I would like to hear from you and see some of your handwriting.
Sincerely,
Thomas Wasylyk
