Jonell Patricia Murphy has been a Substitute teacher (off and on) for Newark Public Schools for over twenty years. One day, as some seniors were signing their names on her Attendance sheet, she noticed that almost everyone was printing their names--one letter at a time When she mentioned this to another teacher she was informed that cursive writing is no longer taught in schools, and hadn't been for a long time. So, Looping Letters was created. It is a fun, easy, self-improvement workbook for teenagers to practice and learn at their own pace. The instructions are written in print. There are images and pictures throughout the book that today's teenagers and younger children will recognize and enjoy. In a few short pages, they can finally master the art of cursive writing and gain another valuable skill that will support them up the ladder of success. Murphy has a degree in English/Journalism from Rutgers University, and a paralegal certificate from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
