samples written by Kelly D. of Escalon, California.
Notes Kelly:
"Ever since I repaired my handwriting under your guidance, I've been getting rave reviews about the appearance of my writing, but the biggest benefit for me has been regaining the ability to write without pain. The beauty of the writing is a wonderful bonus!"
samples written by Carmen P. of Avellino, Italy.
Carmen comments:
"Dear Kate,
I attach a sample of my new handwriting. It improved so much in such a little time!
I still have a lot to do but with these results I have solved half of my problems.
It's such a pleasure to have a good handwriting, you want to do
nothing but writing. Before this I hated to write, I used pc even for my shopping list.
Thanks a lot for your advice, it really worked. ... Regarding the lessons, later on I will take at least another one ... During these days I thought a lot about the importance of the handwriting. A bad handwriting can restrict you in many ways. How many letters I didn't send and what a shame when friends or teachers can't read what you wrote!
Before coming across your website I was sure that handwriting is like the color of your eyes, something you just can't change. How foolish I was!
Thanks a lot for your work.
Love,
Carmen"

I grew up with several neurological disorders that made it difficult for me to write quickly or legibly by hand. I worked hard on handwriting at school, but for me it remained painful, slow, and illegible: "user-hostile."
To find a way out. I dug through all available research on the history and ergonomics of our handwriting: how it has developed, and where things have gone wrong. You can benefit from the results today.
At work, at home, at school -- how people evaluate you can depend on your handwriting. For instance, many high-stakes exams (such as the SAT examination, city-wide/state-wide educational achievement and competency tests, and other standardized tests) now include or soon will include handwritten essay sections. (The SAT exam, widely taken by college-bound high-school students in the USA, adds a handwritten essay section beginning in March of 2005. Students will have 25 minutes to write two pages on an assigned topic. Graders will have two minutes to read and score each essay, working from scans of each student's handwriting. The Educational Testing Service, which creates and administers the SAT, will then make these scanned handwritten essays available to college admissions officers for use as part of their decision-making on student applications.)
From another side of college life comes further evidence of the power of the pen. According to this DALLAS MORNING NEWS story, savvy college coaches recruiting for football teams have found that the old-fashioned handwritten note gets much more attention than form letters - even from high schoolers. Says reporter Tim McMahon, "Handwritten notes are signs of respect to recruits, proof that college coaches consider them worth spending a few minutes with pen in hand."
(Less
creditably, "a few minutes with pen in hand" paid off undeservedly well
for one student at a Washington, DC high school when college
application time came around. Reports
NEWSWEEK, senior-year students who worried about their uncertain
handwriting skills each paid $5 to this sure-handed classmate to write
their names and addresses on college application forms: a sad
reflection on the morals of that skillful student scribe -- and an
equally sad commentary on an educational system that has let numbers of
students head for college without learning, somewhere along the line,
to write a few lines competently by hand.)
