My 13yo always had fantastic art skills, but has struggled with handwriting in recent years. There is something sensory factoring in and she is currently getting OT for it. In the meantime, writing print was hard and she will write each letter then trace over it 3-4 times before moving on. This takes FOREVER and her hand wears out. This book was recommended from a teacher friend and I got it just thinking of general cursive skills, but we have quickly realized that cursive resolves a lot of the problems she has with printing. Not picking up the pen off the page prevents her retracing it all. She is still writing slowly as she learns, but I am now focused on her really learning cursive so it can be her default writing. Her peers may not be able to read it, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it!
I like the quality of the book and the weight of the paper, etc. My daughter likes the assignments and does them with minimal prompting/reminding.
A GREAT CURSIVE REFRESHER

I bought Daily Handwriting Practice: Contemporary Cursive for my 19 year old granddaughter. I noticed she printed everything, including her signature. She had been printing for so long she didn't remember how to do cursive! This workbook is more advanced than some of the other workbooks, that seem more for younger grades. It didn't take long before my granddaughter learned how to do cursive again.

We really like this handwriting book! Its very concise, with each day's practice laid out in an easy-to use format for both teacher and student. The poems and writing exercises are interesting and fun!
Just what we were looking for.

We were happy to have discovered this series. My 2 boys had already learned the formation of the letters, but still needed practice in writing. This series of books fit the bill perfectly! The practice is divided into daily amounts and the children are learning other information through the writing. Instead of simply copying letters or words focused on one letter, they are putting the whole alphabet into practice while writing and therefore learning about the topic of the day. They have found this much more interesting and are actually enjoying their handwriting time now.
