ReadyWriter Workbook (spiral-bound) + PDF

Turn sloppy scrawlers into skillful scribes with ReadyWriter® Penmanship Drills for Stylus Skills!

Each beautiful ReadyWriter exercise portrays a scene from Farmer Brown's farm, with a fun story from the Instructor's Guide to set the context. What makes ReadyWriter so fun and unique is that your kids don't know they're practicing "fundamental stylus strokes" and improving their eye-hand coordination while they're having fun filling-in missing parts of pictures that go along with the stories!

The ReadyWriter spiral-bound workbook contains 16 drill levels, with 10 copies of each level printed on quality paper in a rainbow of colors. ReadyWriter starts with exercises that drill your students in the six fundamental stylus strokes from which printed and cursive letters and numerals are formed. In later exercises, as your kids practice complete letters, the characters will likely flow easily, without the 'jaggies' which so often plague the penmanship of young students. Your child takes just minutes each day to repeat a given drill until he can complete it smoothly and confidently. This typically takes several tries. Thus, ReadyWriter carries the average youngster through the school year, with extra copies for review or added practice. Now includes a voucher certificate for you to request the complimentary pdf files of the drills and keys contained in ReadyWriter, so you can print out more copies for your immediate family's use, if necessary! ($13.95 value)

ReadyWriter is recommended primarily for children ages 4-8. Although ReadyWriter focuses primarily on printed penmanship, several of its exercises carry over nicely into cursive skills. So even students in the higher grades often benefit from doing ReadyWriter!
