Cursive kickoff
Using this for my 7 year old second grader. It is very gentle and starts with basic letters, sentences, and punctuation. Then it goes into cursive slowly. She really likes it.

Why did you choose this?
What is the difference between the Printing Power plus set and the Cursive Kickoff Set? How should I decide which one to get for some review of printing and an introduction to cursive?
Since you are wanting both review of printing and introduction to cursive I would get the Printing Power Plus set. The Cursive Kickoff is only going to cover cursive without any printing review.
How much of this is a review of the print HWT? Is it two books in one, an exact copy of the K level plus some cursive? Were you happy with how your child's handwriting turned out, do they prefer to write this way over print? I'm worried that this is too close to cursive italic where you just make print and learn to connect them but it doesn't help you write faster--so I'm having doubts, I really want the cursive to be practical as well as fun.
This book is essentially a transition to cursive workbook. It reviews manuscript in the first third of the book and introduces cursive letters in the remainder.
This is a great first cursive book for kids. I've used it with my older ones when they were younger, and now I'm using it with one of my younger kids.
We have tried the other methods of cursive without success for my 11 year old son. We are giving HWT a try this school year.
Love using this at the end of second grade as an introduction to cursive.
Love this program, and it's time for my 4th kiddo to start cursive here... works for 3rd/4th/even 5th - don't get too hung up on the grade designations. If you want to start cursive and haven't this…
