I feel, though, that it is best to just finish through the whole consumable workbook to get a good grasp on cursive. You might also choose to purchase the grade level workbook for them and move on from this workbook. If students are really starting to get the hang of writing in cursive, you could always make the executive decision to let them just write the rest in cursive. Since this is a book to transition students from manuscript to cursive, you’ll notice that the lessons include both mansuscript and cursive in the lessons. Students are doing copywork, but are also being exposed to exceptional wise words that follow the patriotic theme. Within each lesson, there are famous quotes and Bible verses.

It also provides a side-by-side view of how the different types of writing look and are the same and different. I love this, because it gives a real visual on how each letter should be formed. The workbook begins with students practicing both manuscript and cursive handwriting on dotted lines. There are 20 lessons with two pages each. This was when we dabbled in cursive with my son, but I’m considering finishing this workbook well into his 4th grade year. In the Laurelwood Books Patriotic Penmanship series, they do manuscript through 2nd grade and then begin with cursive in 3rd.
