Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting (BFH) is an innovative program designed to joyfully learn, teach, and improve handwriting, for all ages.
The BFH method is simple
Simple letter forms make BFH easy to learn and easy to teach.
Students learn only one alphabet. There is no transition from print to conventional cursive required by other handwriting methods.
Retraining of fine motor habits is not required for true cursive writing!
The BFH method is fluid
Handwriting is the motor skill that transfers thought directly onto paper.
The BFH Method's frictionless writing clears the way for free thought through its elegant simplicity.
The BFH method is easily mastered
The italic letter forms of the BFH alphabet are constructed from a core set of easily mastered shapes.
The letter forms flow freely into cursive (joined-up writing) for a lifetime of legible, fast, and pleasurable writing.
Take a look at the products page for detailed information about the manuals and exemplar fonts that will serve all your needs.
A cutting edge handwriting program internationally acclaimed for its excellence!
How it works
One basic alphabet serves students from childhood into adulthood with legibility, speed and individuality.
BFH is a proven method. Adults who learn this method confirm later that they have retained its principles in their own distinctive writing.
BFH letters taught to beginners evolve seamlessly into joined-up (true cursive) writing. BFH never changes letter formation. Teaching time is saved!
