Description
Publisher's Description of Pentime Cursive Grade 8
Eighth graders polish off their handwriting as they write about wildlife. Bible Verses, and poems. A touch of calligraphy adds a special flourish to their penmanship.
Category Description for Pentime Handwriting Series
The Pentime Handwriting program is designed to teach children handwriting with a minimum of assistance. Eight black and white workbooks help students master the skill of manuscript writing, transition into cursive, and continue to build cursive skills using smaller and smaller lines.
In the first workbook, students focus on writing the individual letters on wide lines with a dotted midline. The correct strokes are shown (and numbered) for each letter along with plenty of space for children to practice.
The second book continues practice of upper and lowercase letters but adds words and sentences as well. In place of stroke guides, a dot on each letter shows children where to start forming the letter.
The third book (Transition) reviews manuscript for 35 pages and then jumps into cursive handwriting for the remaining 60 pages of the book, where students learn the strokes for individual cursive letters and practice connecting them.
The rest of the series allows children to fully master cursive writing as they continually practice by writing the letters and copying longer and longer paragraphs on increasingly smaller lines (rulings gradually decrease from 1/2" in Grade 3 to 5/16" in Grade 8). Paragraphs range from fun sentences to Bible verses (close to the ASV version) to excerpts from essays on nature. Captions in the older grades provide interesting facts, and pretty border sheets to color are scattered throughout. - Steph

Why did you choose this?
Do you sell a down load version to purchase? We are living in Thailand for the year and I only bought #5
We do not have a digital version of this program, I'm sorry.
How many pages is the Pentime Cursive 8?
74 pages
Best spelling books to teach traditional cursive that I have found. They are an easy way for kids to master cursive independently.
I have enjoyed these pentime writing books for many years. They have sweet quotes and fun facts for a simple daily handwriting exercise.
My middle school-aged daughter needs more cursive practice. Pentime's levelss 6 & 7 had meaningful and interesting words/segments for her to practice, so I am expecting the same from Pentime 8.
Hoping my older children who need cursive reinforcement will find this interesting enough to stick with it.
