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.
