The letter formation is ball and stick and begins teaching straight and curved strokes, then tracing dotted letters on 1/2" lines, then writing letters and words on lines. Cursive begins with lowercase and uppercase letter formation, strokes, between letters, copywork, and writing your own creations. Only 3 pages of lowercase practice and one page of uppercase practice is done on 1/2" lines with dotted midline, all other practice is done simply by writing on a line. ~ Donna
