Providing both instruction and practice in traditional cursive, this one multi-age volume uses straightforward teaching the IEW way. Stroke order is emphasized as well as the importance of consistent practice. Start with lowercase letters, then capital letters, then move to copying inspiring quotes. Quotes are taken from a wide variety of people, from Socrates to Audrey Hepburn. Lines change from 1/2” wide with dotted middles to 5/16” with dotted middles partway through the copywork. Compared to the first edition, the scope and sequence and the tasks are the same. The new edition offers a more user-friendly format, with single-sided pages and a stroke order reference page/sample alphabet inside the back cover. Reproducible for immediate family. Purchase includes access to pdf practice pages and two (optional) audio talks by Andrew Pudewa.

Why learn cursive?
Studies show that cursive helps with the problem of letter reversals, spacing issues within and between words, and even short attention spans. The title, Cursive Knowledge, gives a nod to the phrase, "curse of knowledge," which occurs when an individual unknowingly assumes that others have the background to understand a concept. For students of all ages who are either new to the art or who have already learned cursive and need a refresher, this course resource provides clear instruction in upper and lower-case letter formation, reproducible practice sheets, and high-quality source material for meaningful copy work.
