# My First Fountain Pen Set

## Bring back handwriting as a way to learn

Most children don’t struggle with having ideas. The hard part is concentrating long enough to sort through them.

This kit gives you a user friendly fountain pen that makes the act of writing more effortless, freeing up the mind to think.

It's also a lot more fun than using a pencil or a ballpoint.

## Why this works

This isn’t revolutionary, but something we have always known: 

-   Writing by hand is an effective way to think and learn
-   A fountain pen is the most effortless writing tool
-   The pen includes a predictive grip to train posture
-   Seeing the ink flow is almost addictive, making it very easy to want to continue writing.

When a routine feels fun and easy, it’s much easier to do it.

### FAQs

**What if I don’t know what to write?** Look around and write about something you can see. It can be quite simple.

**Do I need to write every day?** No, but most days helps you improve.

**Why a fountain pen?** Writing by hand naturally slows things down a little, which can make thoughts easier to sort through.

**Can beginners use this pen?** Yes. The Kakuno is simple to use and intentionally beginner friendly.

**Am I allowed to use a fountain pen at school?** If the school permits refillable ballpoints, this pen is quite similar as the cartridges are easy to insert and the ink is washable.

This First Fountain Pen Set is for a child returning to regular handwriting, and the parent who wants to give them something better to use.
