My Printing Book Student Workbook (2022 Edition)

My son has made so much progress with this curriculum. Thank you RR for carrying HWT!

This workbook is easy to use: it lays open nicely, it is obvious how to use it, and the letters are formed in a way that still looks like traditional printing, but is less awkward (and more like real life) than the strict ball-and-stick method (do any of us actually make an "a" by making a complete circle, lifting the pencil, and then drawing the stick?!) We began with this grade 1 book for my 7 year old, who could already print, but not well. It will not take us the entire year--we do about 2 pages per day, which takes perhaps 10 minutes.

My kids HATE handwriting. But they love doing this workbook. My son even likes to work ahead:)

Both my boys struggle with handwriting. Thanks for making such a user friendly book. My 6-year-old never once fought with his writing assignment, and his handwriting is looking better (most of the time).

All easy pages for a busy mom to hand out for kids to work on independently.

Simple and easy to give paterning ques to insure corect method of handwritting.

My favorite thing about "My Printing Book" is that it is addressed to the child, not the teacher. In the very front of the book, there is a letter to the student that even encourages him/her to color the pictures, and in effect, "own" the book for his/her own. We are using it this year with my 6 year-old son, who has never enjoyed handwriting, and as a result, as never excelled at it. Last year, (his kindergarten year), we used another curriculum and ended up putting handwriting away completely toward the end of the year (February or March, maybe?) because it had become such a sore spot for much frustration between me and him. I just decided we'd try again this year with a fresh start with a new curriculum. So far, (we're about 2/3 of the way through it), it has not been the cure-all for our handwriting frustrations that I wish it could be, but while he still doesn't like handwriting, it's not as stressful as it was last year! Because it's addressed to him, contains interesting sentences to copy, and plenty of pictures, he's more willing to give it a chance, and for that reason, I'm seriously considering ordering another book just like it once he's finished and letting him complete the whole thing all over again.

My youngest was struggling with forming her letters and I was nervous about teaching her correctly as she is strongly left handed and I'm not. This book helped bridge the gap for us and she has done very well! I highly recommend this program.
