Description
This level assumes students have had an introduction to the unique Handwriting Without Tears cursive approach. If not, consider Cursive Kickoff. This package includes the Teacher Guide, one consumable student workbook, and the recommended manipulatives. The student text provides opportunities to read and copy. Upon completion, students should feel comfortable in their cursive skills and be ready to apply these in their daily writing needs. ~ Ruth
Category Description for Handwriting Without Tears Grade 3: Cursive Handwriting
In this level, students’ books are vertical format, and the program’s unique cursive is created on double-lined (rather than triple) writing spaces. This course highly recommends the Ready for Cursive Poster Set, the Blackboard with Double Lines, chalk bits, and little sponge cubes. “Pause and Practice” sections occur every 10-12 pages, practicing previously learned letters to fine-tune handwriting fluency. After students review capital letters, they’ll enjoy unique handwriting practice tasks that include punctuation, prefixes, political maps of North America, and even learning special keyboard symbols. Using both student and teacher books is strongly recommended, as well as adding manipulatives during instruction sessions. Note: Digital tools such as the IDTT (Interactive Digital Teaching Tool) are available for traditional classrooms only and are truly unnecessary in a small classroom/homeschool setting (for example, a giant smart board projection of the letter K). References to these digital tools are clearly identified with a laptop/tablet icon.
