SCHOOLS EVALUATE THE USEFULNESS OF TEACHING CURSIVE WRITING TO STUDENTS.
Website will write and mail personal notes by hand in cursive or printing from your laptop.

Cincinnati, OH. – September 28, 2010

Some fear teaching cursive has been left behind and in schools where it is still taught the emphasis has shifted from the beauty of handwriting to writing efficiently. “With penmanship not as important as it once was and in the age of email and the internet many people find it difficult to pen a letter”, according to the website thehandwrittencard.com President Kate Lima, “there are many occasions where a handwritten card is not only appropriate, but essential.”
Teachers agree that a lack of time in the school day — and too much to teach — contributes to the drop in penmanship lessons. “I was surprised to learn that people weren’t following up with notes written by hand, not even professionals who should know better than to try and get by with and email when only a note written by hand will do,” said Lima. The website thehandwrittencard.com celebrates and values notes using the practice of writing with pen, paper, and ink. The time demands, lack of practice, and sometimes physical difficulty has made it a challenge for many to help carry on the cumbersome method of writing notes on fine stationery, with a pen, placing a stamp on it, and carrying it to the mailbox. For five thousand years, the pen has been an indispensible tool of communication lending cachet to private, social, and business life and hopefully will carry on through the website thehandwrittencard.com.

Thehandwrittencard.com was founded in 2010 to provide consumers with an elegant way to send handwritten correspondence one card at a time from their computers. The site offers a nice selection of fine stationery, genuine handwriting in either cursive or printing, help with choosing the wording and proofreads every note for grammar and spelling before it is mailed.
