Daily Handwriting Practice in Contemporary Cursive gives students a short cursive exercise each day, with a full-page review every Friday.
From Monday to Thursday the sentences are about a real subject, inventors one week and the water cycle another, so the handwriting doubles as a bit of reading. No letter shows up in an exercise before it has been taught.
Using it with a class
This teacher edition combines support pages with student pages you are allowed to photocopy within one class or one family. A fourth grade teacher who uses it weekly says it keeps skills fresh without eating into the day.
One catch
Every page is tied to a set weekday. If your timetable runs differently, expect to rework the order.
From the publisher
Daily Handwriting Practice, Contemporary Cursive is more than just a handwriting book; it's a learning tool that helps developing young minds practice basic skills in an interesting and unique way.
For example, on the topic "Simple Machines," students learn about simple tools and the physics applied in using them. Students write letters, words, and sentences about a variety of content-area topics appropriate for the classroom.
Monday through Thursday, the weekly subjects for writing exercises range from famous inventors to famous quotations, amazing hunters to the water cycle. On Friday, a full-page exercise draws the topic to a close by reviewing what was learned earlier that week.
This book is a useful and effective teaching tool because each letter is introduced and practiced before students are asked to use it.
Curriculum topics addressed include:
- the alphabet
- capital letters
- rhyming words
- months of the year
- days of the week
- world alphabets
- geography
- facts
- synonyms
- nonsense rhymes
- color words
- alliteration
- U.S. presidents
- simple machines
- math
- rhyming words
- prefixes and suffixes
Skills reinforced that help keep handwriting legible include:
- correct letter formation
- letter placement
- spacing between letters
- spacing between words
This resource contains teacher support pages and reproducible student pages. This is a reproducible resource (photocopying of lessons is permitted) for single classroom or individual home use only.
