CursiveLogic Workbook - Poems, Rhymes and Songs (Level 3 & up)
Poems, Rhymes and Songs is a bridge to cursive level 2. It features the same format as the first book. For the first exercise, a few pages of targeted practice remind you of the shapes you will use (over, back-trace, loop left, downstroke, swing right, & mound round). Then you have a 5-line quote from a poem by R.L. Stevenson where student trace inside the words (they are outlined, not solid). These hollow-type letters are used in the first half of the book. When you flip it over, the student is now seeing an example and copying it onto blank lines. Self-assessment at the bottom of the page (in the form of checking boxes) reminds students to apply the strategies learned in the first book. 80 pgs, pb.
CursiveLogic - Poems, Rhymes and Songs (Practice Cursive - 3rd grade and up) is designed for 3rd graders and above who have completed CursiveLogic: Learn Cursive (All grades). This workbook introduces students to 23 well-loved poems, giving students opportunities to read, trace, and write in cursive. Poems, Rhymes and Songs fully reviews the CursiveLogic method and prompts students to check the quality of their own work.
CursiveLogic is a grown-up looking cursive program without having a complicated design. The first 3 books utilize horizontal format with a spiral at the top, a helpful benefit for left-handed learners. Students say the steps of a task aloud as they perform them which helps to reinforce the new motor skills. In addition, there is pencil work tracing: inside bubble letters; writing letters; connecting letters; and sentences. These skills advance from book to book and the tracing transitions into copywork.
Each lesson reviews the 4 main shapes. Letters are grouped by 4 color-coded basic shapes, not in alphabetical order: a useful option for visual learners. If you believe your child could benefit from these methods, has never mastered cursive, or is a more traditional learner, this may be a good fit. Writing lines are .75” with dotted midline. Each lesson can be completed in one 45 to 60-minute session, or in shorter, weekly lessons. Start with CursiveLogic Workbook Learn Cursive to learn and form cursive skills.
Follow up these skills with additional practice in Poems, Rhymes and Songs for 3rd grade and up. Self-assessment at the bottom of each page reminds students to apply their strategies learned in the first book.
United States Presidents and Citizens is for 4th grade and up. It is like the previous books in format, although somewhat modified as students advance in skill levels. Each page offers interesting knowledge of historic Americans.
Speeches and Writings for upper grades moves to the vertical workbook layout and continues to build skills following the steps previously learned. Students will read excerpts from speeches and have daily copywork from the excerpt. Every page offers interesting facts regarding famous Americans from the past. Kids love when their handwriting lessons have actual meaning. ~ Sara
I have an older student that never learned cursive and I wanted something interesting for her.
