New American Cursive Teaching Charts
These charts are a great supplement to the New American Cursive program by Memoria Press. They can be used in home or classroom to illustrate the cursive that your student is learning. The front of the card displays the capital and lower case of each letter in the alphabet with finger strokes numbered. The back has exercise opportunities, but you would need to put it in a clear sleeve or laminate it before using a dry erase marker. ~Amber
New American Cursive teaches your child cursive skills beginning in first grade. There are fewer strokes, a natural right slant, and the strokes are simplified. The program’s philosophy is that students have the motor skills to write cursive at the first grade level, but when we wait to teach them at about third grade, they go back to the speed of first grade writing as they transition from print to cursive.
Mr. Meerkat guides your child through each book as he shows
the way to draw each letter and encourages creativity. Each lesson includes 3
different types of practice pages. The first page is the instruction page on
which students follow a 3-step process under Mr. Meerkat’s direction. Students
first say the letter followed by feeling the letter. In this second step,
students trace large format letters with their finger and are also encouraged
to write the letters in the air or draw them on a table with their finger. The
third step is to write the letter, both upper and lower case, first by tracing
and then by forming the letter freehand.
The second page of the lesson is a practice page, and the third page contains fun exercises and artwork. Students will practice letter connections, words, and short sentences and even have an opportunity to draw something fun. A reminder for proper paper placement and pencil position is placed at the bottom of pages throughout the book.
