Publisher's Description of Handwriting Program for Cursive Left-Handed
Children are eager to learn "grown-up" cursive writing! The Handwriting Program for Cursive workbook (left-handed) provides large models for tracing that allow students to use arm muscles to learn letters. Small models are provided on 1 1/2-inch lined practice paper to facilitate the transition to regular writing paper.
EPS's Preventing Academic Failure handwriting program provides simple and consistent practice for students. Each lesson is on a two page spread. The left page portrays a single, large letter (or numeral) on well marked lines for placement and shape. In the printing and numerals books, there are lines at the bottom of the page marked with a shoe as the line the tails of letters touch, a writing line marked by an X, a middle dotted line marked by a belt that small letters just touch, and another solid line at the top marked with a cap which tall lowercase letters touch and where capital letters and numerals are begun. The right hand page offers two rows of pre-printed letters which students can trace, and blank lines for them to practice on their own. The last line or two may hold a short word for students to practice. Every few lessons there are a couple pages devoted to short words which students can trace and practice. The cursive books are formatted very much the same way, although the lines are no longer marked by symbols (except for the writing line, which is still designated by an X). The book for lefthanders is practically identical, except for the shift in slant. Please note that while the books (cursive as well as print) do show the starting points for writing letters, they do not illustrate strokes or give any verbal instruction. The pages introduce all of the lowercase letters first and then each uppercase letter. There are no additional lessons after each letter has been introduced in both forms.
