Abeka Writing with Phonics K5 Cursive (Bound)
Description
As your child is introduced to various phonics concepts, this book will give him the opportunity to learn how to write them. Each page is lined with special marks (red dots) to help your child remember where to start writing, and the houses as a guide for correct placement of the letters. Extra practice is included to ensure that your child fully grasps the concepts of cursive writing. This book starts off with simple letters and blend combinations, but by the end of the year, your child will be ready to start writing full sentences! Skip the hassle of tearing out the pages for each lesson and order the unbound version with loose leaf, shrink wrapped pages.
