National Handwriting Day!

This is my lefty son~ 

As an OT in the school setting, I teach the skills that kids need for handwriting every day.  So, put down your phones and tablets, close your computers and do some writing today!  Handwriting Without Tears has an activity list for National Handwriting Day on their website- "drawing as writing" for preK through first grade, and writing activities for grades one and up!  You can check it out here:

Also, FYI for the grownups (parents, educators...), here is an in interesting short article about the 4 Benefits of Writing by Hand:  http://mentalfloss.com/article/33508/4-benefits-writing-hand
Makes perfect sense to me!  Enjoy~
