Beginning & Practice Cursive Modern Style Gr. 2-4

By On The Mark Press

Teaching cursive can feel like an uphill battle. Teachers juggle curriculum mandates for letter formation, spacing, flow, and assessment-on top of daily lesson planning. Without a ready-to-go program, cursive instruction becomes inconsistent, time-consuming, and frustrating for both educators and students.

Our two-book Modern Cursive bundle delivers everything you need-no extra prep or planning-to guide students from their very first strokes to confident, fluent writing. Featuring a playful sailing theme and engaging sailor characters, the Beginning Workbook teaches the fundamentals, while the Practice Workbook reinforces mastery through real-world activities. Both volumes align directly to Grades 2-4 curriculum expectations.
