The last four books in the series are portrait format and feature smaller lines. These continue offering cursive practice, with most pages progressing from letter practice to word practice to practice writing a sentence or a paragraph. The sentences and paragraphs to copy are always very educationally-focused, including facts about plants and animals, tidbits on geographical places and famous people, and other interesting pieces of information. Between practice on individual letters, there are occasionally opportunities to practice "real-life" writing, such as writing an address on a postcard or filling out a job application form. This straightforward, no-nonsense handwriting workbook is 8.5" x 11" with the first seven in landscape format. Books feature color covers, but are black-and-white inside. Overall, a solid choice for learning traditional style handwriting that offers plenty of cursive enrichment. 80 pages, pb.
