Save the Handwriting with BIC #BICFightForYourWrite

With the advancement of technology comes to loss of important skills like handwriting. I know I spend a lot more time typing on a computer than I do actually writing out things with paper and pen. I think handwriting is a very important skill that needs to be taught to all children. Many children spend so much time on electronic devices that they have very poor penmanship.

Did you know that writing is also a critical learning tool for children? Writing helps kids become better readers, boosts their confidence and sparks their creativity.

I’ve been working with Jude (1st grade) to help him with his handwriting. I decided to take advantage of his love for technology and downloaded a handwriting app on my iPad. We used the BIC Kids Stylus so he learns how to properly hold a pen/pencil while writing his letters. He loves that he can practice his writing and “play” on the iPad.

BIC Kids StylusWe also have an assortment of BIC pens and pencils, many of which are specifically designed for kid’s small hands, to learn proper writing.
