Even with the rise of computer technology, learning to write well with pen and paper is as important as ever. Not only is handwriting an essential life skill, but it’s also an art form. Fortunately, FasTracKids in Brooklyn’s Park Slope hosts an engaging summer camp that teaches children how to write professionally.

From signing papers to writing letters to Grandma, there is a host of reasons to rely on pen and paper. For older generations, failing to master the art of handwriting seems unimaginable; for younger ones, it’s a genuine possibility. Thankfully, helping children master these skills during the precious early years will instill these habits for a lifetime, even with frequent computer use.

Perhaps equally important, it helps them develop the crucial fine motor skills they’ll rely on for a lifetime. Plus, studies show that writing by hand helps children learn to spell better than with a keyboard. Other studies suggest children learn to write more quickly with a pen.

Even if you have a computer and printer, writing on pen and paper is sometimes more practical. When receiving a letter or invitation, so often, ink and paper are perceived as more genuine and heartfelt. Plus, cursive, calligraphy, and other forms of writing are simply beautiful. By teaching this art to younger generations, we can rest assured it will never be lost. Help your child discover this lost art with FasTracKids’ handwriting summer camp program.
