This is a cursive handwriting workbook for kids grades 2-5. It is important to know that neuroscientists believe that learning cursive is developmentally beneficial for the human brain at any stage. Writing by hand, especially in cursive, is vital in training the brain to practice and improve more skills and senses all at once: hand-eye coordination, patience, self-control, and a sense of involvement, and ownership. All this is done while learning more about the English language.

The book starts with the basic alphabet and numbers to develop the required muscle memory and progressively advances to words, sentences, then finally, whole stories. It builds an understanding of how to form each cursive letter and number correctly and connect them.

This book takes the writer on a skill building journey of:

1. Learning the dot-to-dot method, then tracing the cursive letters and numbers, then introducing free handwriting
2. Connecting multiple letter words, some short, some long, in cursive
3. Advancing to writing simple and complex sentences in cursive
4. The included story prompts give a great foundation for writing cursive in paragraphs
   
5. A free practice section for writing anything you need in cursive

In this workbook, you will find various writing exercises in over 200 pages. The lines in the book are wide/legal ruled. The book is 8.5 x 11 inches, giving a wide berth to practice. The letter size is customized for kids to help with learning cursive writing on ruled lines.

What's is included?

Part 1 starts of with the alphabet where writing letters in both lowercase and capital forms are practiced through tracing and connecting the dots. Each letter is presented with directional arrows to guide the hand movements. This book has plenty of space with a whole page for practicing each letter. Then it gives lessons on writing all numbers in cursive form as well once letters are learned.

Part 2 builds on the previous knowledge with word building. A list of words starting with each letter is first practiced so that one can learn how to connect different letters longer. Common words for family, relationships, common items, directions, times, and such are presented in the second half of Part 2. Short words and longer words are included in each list.

Part 3 is all about sentences. Common sentences are traced, and then free writing of the sentence finishes each. This is so that one can be comfortable writing longer in preparation for the next section.

Part 4 puts it all together by giving story prompts. Initiative and creativity are tested with this ultimate practice of cursive writing. A couple pages for each story prompt is available to make a short story. Once finished, be confident that you have learned cursive extensively enough.

Part 5 is a collection of empty, free practice pages once you have mastered cursive.
