This level assumes students have been introduced to cursive writing. This student book starts out reviewing the “magic c” lowercase letters, then moves on to the remaining lowercase letters (categorized in groups with names such as “tow truck” letters). Lastly, students review capital letters by using them in context. For example, students write city and country names from A to Z: A is for Athens, Greece; H is for Havana, Cuba; U is for Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The next activities provide opportunities to continue applying these writing skills. In these practice pages, students apply writing skills while exploring other subjects, such as grammar (compound words and proper nouns), Greek vocabulary, and biographies. This workbook ends with a few assignments where students take a premade outline draft and choose to respond either by using provided bullet-point content or writing completely on their own. As with other levels, a reference page of all lowercase and capitals letters is included. Consumable, portrait format, 94 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth

Perhaps your student wants to maintain and strengthen their cursive handwriting skills. This level is a great option! Perhaps your student is still developing their cursive skills—also perfect! After students learn and practice creating a few letters, they’ll work through “Pause and Practice” pages to apply what they learned as they write additional words or phrases. Using the student and teacher books in conjunction is highly recommended. A few manipulatives are also suggested: the Ready for Cursive Poster Set and the Blackboard with Double Lines with chalk bits/little sponge cubes. If your student needs additional writing practice at this stage, the previous edition’s Building Writers and Writing Journal correlate and provide a nice learning extension. While keyboarding and other tech skill activities are suggested, the classroom digital teaching tools are only available for traditional classrooms (identified with a laptop/tablet icon). Aligns with Science of Reading.
