Description
Right-handed or left-handed, simple shapes, finger tracing, color-coding, catchy repetitive phrases and lots of practice make this single handwriting instruction book quite unique. Use it with big kids to littles. Its not juvenile looking, but also without a complicated design. Using the horizontal format with a top spiral at the top, work through the pages from the front, then flip over and work through the back sides. The four basic shapes are color coded: orange ovals, lime loops, silver swings and mauve mounds. Finger tracing builds muscle memory. Saying the task steps of a task as you perform them helps reinforce new motor skills. And of course, there is pencil work tracing: inside bubble letters; writing letters; connecting letters, followed by sentences. Each lesson reviews the 4 main shapes. Additionally unique, the letters are grouped by the 4 basic shapes, not in alphabetical order: a good option for visual learners. Its just well done. Whether your child would benefit from these methods, has never mastered cursive, or is a more traditional learner, this is as good a fit. Writing lines are .75" with dotted midline. There are 14 weeks of lessons (with 4 days per week of instruction). 11"x 8.5", 111 pgs, pb. ~ Sara
Publisher's Description of CursiveLogic Workbook
The CursiveLogic Student Workbook is a 14-week program designed for easy implementation in the home and classroom.
Using a patent-pending, shape-based approach, CursiveLogic teaches the entire lowercase alphabet in five weeks. Students learn four strings of six to eight connected letters that share a common shape. After learning the four lowercase strings, students spend the next six weeks learning capital letters and reinforcing the skills they learned during the first four weeks. In the last three weeks, students perfect their technique and complete a capstone activity — writing and mailing a thank you note. At the end of 14 weeks, students have excellent penmanship and a firm command of cursive.
CursiveLogic's shape-based approach to teaching cursive engages every learning style by seamlessly combining visual, auditory, verbal, and kinesthetic elements. CursiveLogic makes it possible for every student to succeed and enjoy the process.
Category Description for CursiveLogic
CursiveLogic is a grown-up looking cursive program without having a complicated design. The first 3 books utilize horizontal format with a spiral at the top, a helpful benefit for left-handed learners. Students say the steps of a task aloud as they perform them which helps to reinforce the new motor skills. In addition, there is pencil work tracing: inside bubble letters; writing letters; connecting letters; and sentences. These skills advance from book to book and the tracing transitions into copywork.
Each lesson reviews the 4 main shapes. Letters are grouped by 4 color-coded basic shapes, not in alphabetical order: a useful option for visual learners. If you believe your child could benefit from these methods, has never mastered cursive, or is a more traditional learner, this may be a good fit. Writing lines are .75” with dotted midline. Each lesson can be completed in one 45 to 60-minute session, or in shorter, weekly lessons. Start with CursiveLogic Workbook Learn Cursive to learn and form cursive skills.
Follow up these skills with additional practice in Poems, Rhymes and Songs for 3rd grade and up. Self-assessment at the bottom of each page reminds students to apply their strategies learned in the first book.
United States Presidents and Citizens is for 4th grade and up. It is like the previous books in format, although somewhat modified as students advance in skill levels. Each page offers interesting knowledge of historic Americans.
Speeches and Writings for upper grades moves to the vertical workbook layout and continues to build skills following the steps previously learned. Students will read excerpts from speeches and have daily copywork from the excerpt. Every page offers interesting facts regarding famous Americans from the past. Kids love when their handwriting lessons have actual meaning. ~ Sara
