Description
A review of cursive for upper grades, this consumable text also makes a great review for students who want to “shine up” their handwriting skills or as a companion to a US history study. While this workbook is intended for those who are familiar with the CursiveLogic method, a student with a fair grasp of cursive would also benefit from this practice book (the method will take just a bit to become familiar with).
Inside each cover you’ll find an alphabet and number reference chart and also a brief dictionary of particular vocabulary used in the source material. Start the text with cursive handwriting review of letter strings, and practice capitals, technique, form, and midline connections. Then, get ready for great Americans! Studies highlight 18 famous individuals (from Patrick Henry to Geronimo, Eleanor Roosevelt to Cesar Chavez) and includes US Presidents Reagan, Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, and Kennedy. Start each section with a brief biography including a portrait, birth/death years. Then, follows a narrative to copy (which might be a speech, a selection from a book, or biography). Students begin their writing with a tracing exercise, then trace in pencil, and then write. On days 1, 2, and 3 students will copy and write.
One fun section encourages students to develop their own signatures with examples of different capital letters (Q and the Q that looks like a 2 are options), flourishes, and space to create their own “John Hancock.” Consumable, 96 pgs, spiral lay-flat binding, pb. ~ Ruth

Category Description for CursiveLogic
CursiveLogic is a grown-up looking cursive program without having a complicated design. The first 3 books utilize horizontal format with a spiral at the top, a helpful benefit for left-handed learners. Students say the steps of a task aloud as they perform them which helps to reinforce the new motor skills. In addition, there is pencil work tracing: inside bubble letters; writing letters; connecting letters; and sentences. These skills advance from book to book and the tracing transitions into copywork.
Each lesson reviews the 4 main shapes. Letters are grouped by 4 color-coded basic shapes, not in alphabetical order: a useful option for visual learners. If you believe your child could benefit from these methods, has never mastered cursive, or is a more traditional learner, this may be a good fit. Writing lines are .75” with dotted midline. Each lesson can be completed in one 45 to 60-minute session, or in shorter, weekly lessons. Start with CursiveLogic Workbook Learn Cursive to learn and form cursive skills.
Follow up these skills with additional practice in Poems, Rhymes and Songs for 3rd grade and up. Self-assessment at the bottom of each page reminds students to apply their strategies learned in the first book.
United States Presidents and Citizens is for 4th grade and up. It is like the previous books in format, although somewhat modified as students advance in skill levels. Each page offers interesting knowledge of historic Americans.
Speeches and Writings for upper grades moves to the vertical workbook layout and continues to build skills following the steps previously learned. Students will read excerpts from speeches and have daily copywork from the excerpt. Every page offers interesting facts regarding famous Americans from the past. Kids love when their handwriting lessons have actual meaning. ~ Sara
