Catch on to Cursive

My heart's desire as my children's teacher is to immerse them with God's word and this curriculum helps me with this. I also am teaching cursive first and this curriculum is great for teaching my 5 and 7 year how to write and write without labor. I want the first words my children are writing to come from God's word and I have been able to accomplish this through this curriculum. I do enjoy a lot of the crossing the midline activities and the body strengthening exercises and the hand strengthening activities. Toward the end of the book I started skipping some because my kids were able to develop the skill. I also expedited the schedule by doing three pages a day, but our main focus for school has been to learn how to write without labor. They have beautiful handwriting. My only qualm with the curriculum is that I wish it taught all the lowercase letters first then the uppercase letters, but for the most part they did stick with that except for a 2 lowercase letters at the end and a handful of uppercase letters at the beginning. So not a deal breaker for me. Just wished all lowercase were taught first. Also, noticed that a handful of the tracing and extra activities in the back of the book had them writing letters they hadn't learned yet, but a very small detail that didn't matter too much. Overall, I highly recommend this cursive curriculum and plan to use it with my next three when they are ready to start school. Thank you Masterbooks for providing a curriculum immersed with God's word.

My kids loved learning cursive using this curriculum. They really enjoyed the mazes and other activities that were woven in with the cursive writing techniques and practice.

My kid used this and it was helpful.

My daughter has really enjoyed learning cursive with this book!

We got this for this coming school year. Both my kids are excited and like the way its laid out. Simple instructions and easy to follow.

My son requested this course, he wants to write like me. But he was devastated that his “best work” would not reflect what was on the page… letter “k”is introduced in chapter 16 and the word leak was in the Fishing Derby for chapter 15… other than that we have been having a blast with this course, and he is doing amazing with his handwriting. He learned his name first so some “new letters” were just review. We have fun exploring the different fishing terms and animals brought up in class too.

I didn't think my kid could handle this on top of all of his work, but he is doing a lot better than I could teach him without any curriculum. LOVE THIS

My daughter loves this book and she has beautiful cursive now!

My son loves this handwriting book. Not only does it teach him how to properly write each letter in cursive, it also teaches him so much about fish and fishing. This handwriting is fun and entertaining while teaching him new concepts.

I think the curriculum really is great and makes Cursive interesting for my child. She really is catching on quite well. One major downside to this book is that all the cursive writing part is done on the left side of the pages when it is open. Thats the side with the floppy cover. We keep having to put another book underneath to provide a flatter surface for writing. This portion should be on the right hand page where it lays flat or this should be sprial bound. I think I will have our copy spiral bound to make it easier for her.
