Just looking for some info as I can't find samples of it. We are currently using Handwriting Without Tears. I am not unhappy with it but am finding that we don't have enough practice in the workbooks and are having to complete each workbook twice or I have to create handwriting sheets.

Thanks!

Here's a link that will help:

Grant is loving Cheerful Cursive this year. It's nice steady practice that gives plenty of practice with letter formation before jumping into copywork. (That's why we like it over the A Reason for Handwriting.) My son needs practice...and honestly his handwriting is looking pretty good this year!

Did you see Mary's picture on that other thread? That's a great example of the practice. It does all lowercase letters first.

I'll post a couple of pics of my sons book as soon as I can. I searched high and low too and checked local bookstores etc. Could find nothing. I ordered it because my son asked to learn cursive and I have ended up with everything else Carrie recommends anyway so I thought "I probably won't go wrong with this either." I was right. I like it. It eases into cursive and that we really needed.

I'll try to get them up tonight but it might be tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here are 2 lessons from the beginning of the book and the last one is from the middle of the book that we haven't gotten to yet.







Hope this helps. I do use StartWrite to make more practice sheets if he needs more practice. I find that if I remind him constantly to copy the samples then he does better. I had to make an extra practice sheet for the middle pics lesson because he really just didn't even try all that well. I don't think he'll do that again

Here's a link to an older thread, where we discussed reasons for choosing Cheerful Cursive and some discussion with other moms on it: viewtopic.php?t=383
