This was ideal for my fifth grader who was embarrassed that he had never learned cursive. This gave him lots of practice and immediately had him linking letters to make words which was important to making quick progress. He worked on this book over the summer and now that he is back in school, he feels very confident he can write in cursive!
I purchased this with my 8 year old in mind. The schools don't seem to set cursive writing as a priority anymore, so we took it upon ourselves to teach our son cursive. It helps a lot to show him direction on letter formation. It could use more arrows to indicate direction, because he tries to start from the bottom. Highly recommend this for writing practice.
I would of liked this workbook better if they started with A and gave a whole page of practice for each letter. Then went to practice of linking letters. I am teaching my son cursive since his school isn't. So far I had to buy a notebook just to get him use to letters first. Then I'll be using this after we make it through the alphabet.
My expectations were disappointed by the reality of this product. The first thing noticed was that this book is cheap, thin, and floppy - definitely not worth 7 bucks. Additionally, I thought the order of the pages would follow a synchronized A-B-C order, but it is categorized by "downcurve letters", "overcurve letters" "curve forward letters", etc.Another fault with this book is that the traceable letters don't guide on flow and direction of writing in cursive. Therefore, if your child is just learning the basics of cursive writing, they end up tracing the sets "willy nilly" in ways they wouldn't naturally connect the letters to form words.I'm baffled by the amount of accolades this tool has received. Do yourself a favor and go to your local Dollar Tree or school supply store to get a better bang for your buck.
I thought this had practice for all the alphabet. I also thought it had more pages. I could of bought this from the dollar store. Not what I was looking for so I'm disappointed.
It is difficult to find a good cursive writing work book. I like this one very much. I only wish there hundreds of pages and cursive writing takes lots of practice. I book with so few pages is impractical. I need 20 books.
My second grader loves this book. Her school is not teaching cursive anymore and she displayed an interest in it. She practices her cursive with this almost daily. I will be buying her another when she fills the pages.
It would of been a good book if the book ranged from A - Z instead of random letters mixed in. Call me old fashion, but I prefer the old fashion way of learning.
