Publisher Description:

  • Bound at the top for ease of use by left-handed students

  • Includes exercises to develop creative writing skills
  • Blank reproducible practice pages included
  • Extra copy practice for subject mastery
  • Flexible method allows for the individuality of the child


Category Description for New American Cursive:

Handwriting with a bit of a different approach will teach your child cursive skills beginning in first grade. There are fewer strokes, a natural right slant, and the strokes are simplified. The philosophy is that students have the motor skills to write cursive at the first grade level, and when we wait to teach them at about third grade, they literally go back to the speed of first grade writing as they transition from print to cursive.

Each book includes a 7-page teaching guide, followed by instruction and exercises, illustrations and practice sheets with quotes and Bible verses (a secular version of Book II uses quotes from famous Americans in lieu of Bible verses). Book II and III also include handwriting evaluations, review of paper placement and pencil position, review of letter and number formations, and progress reports and test pages. The books have an uncluttered, visual appeal with uncramped space to practice. Since the books are intended for elementary grades, the spacing is very important.

'Mr. Meerkat' guides your child through each book as he shows the way to draw each letter and encourages creativity. Before the 1940s, children were taught cursive in the first grade. This course provides the opportunity to use this simple technique to bring back the art of handwriting. - Donna

We just finished using the New American Cursive Workbook 1 and needed to move on to the next level. These books are the best cursive instruction workbooks we've used and well worth the money, in my opinion.
Heather L on Sep 27, 2018
Looks like a good cursive program, I wanted one for all my 4 kids (grades 1, 3, 5 & 7).

We used the New American Cursive Level 1 book for an introduction to cursive and loved it. Easy to use.

I like the handwriting style and the books are very straightforward for my kids and actually have worthwhile things to copy. I love that the verses are mostly KJV.

We needed to try a new program for cursive.
Maria S on Apr 22, 2017
Completed book 1, and want to keep it up. Book 1 only took about 6 months to complete. It's only March, but don't want to wait until next school year to continue and risk forgetting what we've learned thus far.

Liked workbook 1 and going on to workbook 2.

It does the job, but pretentious
It does a solid job teaching cursive, especially once the basics are learned. But the author thinks a bit too highly of her subject and thinks that everyone will be just as enthusiastic as she is to come practice handwriting. It ended up preachy. Made it hard to teach after a while with a boy who is lukewarm to the idea of writing at all. Would have been much easier without all the commentary about the topic.
