Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids: Beginning Cursive

My son is nearing the end of 2nd grade, and I am not sure if schools still teach cursive (I have heard a lot don't), but I still want my son to learn it, so since I am currently homeschooling him for awhile, we decided to give this book a try. We've only done a few letters so far, but I love the format. We just made copies from our printer so we could go over different letters again or I can use them with my other kids in the future without having to purchase another book. I love the big letter at the top that gives the order you will trace over each section. For some of the letters where you go over the same part of the letter more than once, knowing the order is so important. It gives a big one with the order of steps at the top, then ones to trace, and then a few lines to try to make them on their own. Nothing too fancy, but I feel like the big letter at the top, and the way that is designed really makes it helpful. We also got the sequel book that connects the letters into words for once he gets more confident in the individual letters.

I use this workbook while homeschooling my kindergarten son. I love the layout, especially following a path within the guide rather than confusing arrows. The connecting letters section has a lot going on so we usually just do a couple of lines at a time. Even though my son is still learning to read, I find that he gets a huge benefit from the concentration it takes to write the letters. We like to look back through the book to see how much his regular practice has paid off. He loves to draw, and his drawing has gotten much more refined as well. I wish there was a similar book for writing numbers! I know it’s not exactly cursive, but the hollow line guides are such an improvement over arrows. They should be the norm.

An awesome book to teach kids cursive handwriting. Recently, I've heard that the schools nearby where we live are no longer teaching cursive. I'm not sure if that's happening elsewhere or just in our area, but I remember being taught cursive at a very young age when I went to school. I found this book and based off the reviews I'd figured to order it. I'm glad I did! A lot of pages to learn how to write cursive, easy step by steps, big open spaces for the kids to write, and the pages are thick. I got this for my three young ones and I'm very sure they will be able to learn it very easily. I plan to buy this author's other cursive writing books for my kids.

This is a good workbook to use to learn and practice cursive. One thing to note is that capital Q's are not standard, they're a more modern Q maybe? They look more like a printed Q rather than the one that looks kind of like a 2. So, we still had to show our son the alternative Q since his school uses the other Q.

We used this book to teach our grandchildren how to write cursive during a time that schools have removed it from the curriculum. The book was intuitive and fun to learn with. NOW our grandchildren can sign their name on important documents and read passages written in cursive!

I recently started my 3rd Grade granddaughter in this book. It has the best diagrams for showing the beginner how to make their cursive letters. As she uses this book [EXL Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids: Beginning Cursive] I had her get the necessary additional beginning practice using Channie's Easy Peasy Cursive Workbook. I looked at a lot of published materials. This combination was the best for learning cursive by far! I'm a retired teacher, and I've been tutoring my grandchildren for almost six years.

I bough this book for my 7th grader to practice writing cursive. One day, I asked my son to write in cursive a very simple short sentence. Seeing his struggle to write, and trying to connect each letter, made me want to have him re-learn cursive again. This book is great, it's tell tells him where to start each letter and where is ends. The school doesn't teach cursive anymore, and doesn't encourage cursive writing either. This is a an awesome book!

I am using it to teach my 4 th grader cursive writing. My state believes cursive writing is obsolete because we are in the digital age and has stopped teaching the skill in school. But I vehemently disagree. Even if they never need to write anything, how will they be able to read hand written letters from history? We are doing them a disservice by ignoring such a basic and profound skill. This booklet is well written, easy to understand and use. Love it.

My grade 2 students really enjoyed practicing their cursive writing and this book was very helpful!!

A very pleasant introduction to cursive for children. Pages are laid out in a spacious and non-overwhelming manner and the size of the writing expected is spot on. Would recommend.

Excelente compra

I was looking for something easy to use that I could leave my 5 year old doing independently and gain confidence. This was perfect for that! He must like it because he often does several pages at once.

My granddaughter was very excited and really enjoyed it.
