Cursive Handwriting
Also known as Script, longhand, or joined-up writing, the scripted cursive style of writing is created using connected, flowing letters which allows for faster, more elegant writing than print. Writers of cursive use single strokes to create letters without lifting the pen or pencil from the paper and connect the letters within the same word. Cursive handwriting is more intricate than print and can add a touch of sophistication whenever used.
Which cursive handwriting level best fits my needs?
Choose a workbook level based on writer's ability and advance as handwriting improves.
Cursive 1: Largest text size for beginner-friendly practice or for those needing to develop or improve fine motor skills.
Cursive 2: Intermediate handwriting practice with medium-sized text for those with higher levels of fine motor control seeking to challenge and improve writing skills.
Cursive 3: Smallest text for more advanced handwriting practice.

Pencil Grip Tips
Pinch the pencil between your thumb and first finger. Rest the pinched fingers with pencil on the middle finger. Curl the last two fingers into the palm of your hand for support as you rest your hand on the writing surface.
