Cursive Writing Practice Pages and Instructional Videos for 2nd and 3rd grade

Let me teach your second or third grade class cursive writing! These practice pages combined with the videos allow students to learn cursive on their own at their own pace. This gives teachers valuable time to focus on other skills.

Now easier to use than ever! QR codes have been added to help students find each video!

Cursive has always been one of the most fun parts of second or third grade for students. I can help continue this tradition without an extra time burden on the teachers.

The Cursive Writing packet teaches all of the cursive alphabet and the connections between letters.

• Cursive writing is an important skill for students, but teachers often do not have the time to incorporate lessons into the classroom.
• Some teachers also feel that they themselves do not have sufficient cursive skills to be an effective instructor of this skill.
• These video lessons save instructional time, model proper writing skills, allow for small group or individual lessons, allow students to work at their own pace, and may even help teachers improve their own cursive skills.
• Letters are learned in a logical sequence, but not alphabetically. Letters with similar strokes are learned then reviewed together.
• Blank handwriting pages are provided.

Additionally, the lesson pages and the videos include information on

• pencil grip,
• slant,
• size,
• shape, and
• spacing.

Other important points

• Students are instructed in Dos and Don'ts for each letter.
• Students do not have to struggle to figure out letter formation on their own.
• Students are not practicing without instruction.
• Lessons review previously learned letters.
• Lessons ask students to reflect on their work.
• Students are encouraged to find their best letter and celebrate it.
• Students are asked to find and improve a less well-done letter.
• Students will practice reading cursive, while learning to write it.
