Speed Writing for Teens

Grades 9-12

Learn an easy to use way to take better notes, knowledge of how to write in cursive is good but not required.

Learn this relatively simple version of shorthand that will allow you to take notes more quickly and accurately.  Knowledge of how to write in cursive makes some parts easier to execute but isn't required.  A very basic introduction to the concept will be given, and once learned can be easily adapted to a personal style, allowing students to quickly and easily write detailed notes from lectures, speeches and other spoken forms of communication.  Registration is required.
