Older students are presented with a systematic approach to cursive handwriting. The Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Grade 5 program focuses on improving joining letters. Any older student who has limited exposure to cursive writing will receive basic instruction and the help of QR codes and Zaney the Digital Tutor. Each letter is briefly overviewed and given ample practice time through copywork. No longer are students utilizing dotted midlines, and the line spacing has narrowed from previous levels. Copywork takes the next step in skill development, asking students to read the selection on one side of the workbook and copy the reading on the other side. There are Manuscript Maintenance sections throughout the workbook to keep skills sharp through fun activities and games. The application section emphasizes writing styles and formats and has students producing graphic organizers and writing full essays and stories. Pages are perforated for easy removal.

The handwriting style that defined “traditional” is coupled
with exercises to provide clear instruction in all aspects of handwriting. It
covers the four basic letter strokes, slants, spacing, and lots of practice,
giving children a solid foundation in legible handwriting! Taking a theme-based
approach (history or literature), Level K begins with hand-eye coordination and
stroke practice and ends with the complete alphabet. At the lower level,
manuscript is practiced through names and places, writing greetings, etc. In
Grade 2, students either continue with manuscript instruction and practice in
the 2M Book or can be introduced to cursive in the 2C book. Higher grades
continue cursive instruction and handwriting refinement, as they copy and
interact with larger selections. Student books include a QR code that links to
“how-to” videos.
Program components include full-color student books, teacher books, and reproducible practice books. The consumable Student Book is written in an engaging manner and contains ample instruction and modeling, making it possible to use it independently. Teacher Editions open flat and continually emphasize the Review-Practice-Evaluate process and provide helpful information to evaluate handwriting, including teaching the student how to self-evaluate. Reduced-size student pages are shown, along with student reminders, teaching tips, scope and sequence, corrective strategies for specific problems, and support for various learning needs (including English Language learners). Note: The ZBPortal mentioned in TE is not available for home school use. The Practice Book is a collection of reproducible masters to provide students with extra practice. The Teacher Edition coordinates the Practice Book with the Student Book. The Student Book can be purchased separately or in a bundle to best meet your needs. Bundle options include the Student Edition plus Practice Book; Student Edition plus Teacher Edition; and Student Edition, Teacher Edition, and Practice Book. Optional helpful Zaner-Bloser tools are also available.
