Soul Development Through Handwriting: The Waldorf Approach to the Vimala Alphabet

Practicing the Vimala Alphabet is a unique way to change yourself, how you work with other, and how you see yourself. The practice of certain letters can change your feelings and your tendencies. The letters that are hardest for you to write are the ones you need to practice most to see changes in yourself.

Taught my son to write cursive with this book because I saw someone else using it. A dying art for sure. But I still feel it's an important skill to be learned.

Well written book. Easy to follow and great examples of how to write the Vimala alphabet. It is a must have for teachers teaching this to children.

As a Waldorf homeschooling mom, this text is a very good resource and easy to work with. I have been using it for myself with a view to teaching my daughter the Vimala script. I was hoping for a little more support in terms of how to present it, but that is not offered.

Good addition to my library

very informative and useful! It complements Vimila Rodgers material which is also very interesting. Thank you for making it available!

Jennifer Crebbin has given us a thoughtful, insightful way to teach children how to write the letters of the Alphabet. Since the way we write is the way we think, this book provides a strong foundation in establishing clear, positive, confident attitudes. Using the Vimala Alphabet, children learn to form letters in a healthy, forward-thinking way. Soul Development Through Handwriting has a wealth of information, covering everything from basic pen grip to the genuine qualities of the letters. Practice sheets are included. Within and beyond the Waldorf community, this is a valuable resource for teachers and parents everywhere.

If you want something to read it is great but if you want to really see the beauty of it then buy the print version.

I found this book particularly helpful as I work with children. The traits linked with one's handwriting,as mentioned in this book, is very clearly seen in the children's written work. I'M so glad I stumbled across this wonderful treasure trove as I am now confident to help the whole round development of the child.

Je suis un peu déçue par ce livre que je n'arrive pas à exploiter. L'alphabet Waldorf est un univers à part, mais cette technique ne le rend pas si accessible qu'elle le devrait.
