"Thanks to the assistance of a local elementary school in the Los Angeles/Torrance, CA area, we had the opportunity to give Steps4Kids to Write Cursive a true hands-on consumer evaluation ... .  As we entered, there was a group of parents, kids, and the teacher, grouped around the computer lab stations in the room, with a big cake on the desk at the end of the room. The teacher stepped up and said, "On behalf of our school lab, the parents and students who participated in your product evaluation, we would all like to just say THANK YOU! The mother of one of our students owns a bakery and they brought the cake you see here as our way of saying thank you from all of us. This DVD is well beyond anything we had expected and knowing it was created by two mothers puts the icing on the cake!"

To say the very least, we were all dumbstruck from the unexpected praise. From that moment on it was nothing but plenty of comments being shared about how much fun the DVD was and how it was so "neat", and how the teacher was astounded at "...how easily even my most stubborn students were willing to use the DVD". Never did we imagine that Steps4Kids to Write Cursive would be such a monumental hit, especially after our experience the last 24 hours at the school. The feedback forms had an abundance of very good comments for virtually every facet of the DVD. Based upon the feedback from the parents, school, teacher, and kids, Steps4Kids to Write Cursive was an absolute winner with everyone at this school! "
