What makes THIS packet special is the word choice and the accompanied videos! Read on for more info! After teaching cursive for years, and not loving any of the workbooks I found, I decided to create my own. The font is true Zaner-Bloser, the pictures are more mature than other packets I've seen, and no more tracing weird words. Ok, well... I actually included a silly word on each of the Uppercase pages!

If you are looking for a resource to help your students get better at writing paragraphs... this is it! Many teachers send home weekly reading or math homework, but writing is often times overlooked. Once I started sending home writing homework, I noticed that my students become very strong paragraph writers! This helped to make the transition to writing essays much smoother as well.

So I came up with this idea of silly conversations that will help them to practice READING cursive (with the bold sentences) and WRITING cursive (with the dotted sentences). They really enjoy them! So if you n
