Cursive and Beyond 2025 Student Edition

From Handwriting Without Tears, this book can be the next in the series after Can Do Cursive or it can be a cursive option for a middle schooler without much experience with cursive handwriting. Many students will be able to work through the student book on their own, but for those who need explicit instruction, the Teacher Edition (sku 048056) has guidance for every student page. The Student Edition begins with a review of forming and connecting cursive letters. Letters are grouped by shape and stroke. The HWOT cursive font is quite vertical – making it a left-handed­-­­­­­­­friendly option. This gives it a different look from a traditional slanted cursive, but remember that students are practicing form. Individuals are expected to develop their own cursive style later on. Pages provide opportunities to copy words and sentences, then eventually to write original sentences. I love that students will practice their signature! Pages then become themed around Greek and Latin word families. The variety of topics keeps kids interested and leads the writer to produce more sentences of their own. Not reproducible, 86pp, 1cm lines (no midlines). ~Sara
