Harcourt Flash Kids Cursive Writing Practice Book Review

Laura just finished the Cursive Writing Practice Book published by Harcourt Family Learning. This workbook is published for grades 2-4. The book retails for only $3.95 at Barnes and Noble. Each letter is covered with four pages of practice as well as a simple sentence. It helps children practice letters, words, and sentences. There are over 100 pages of cursive practice. This book keeps the children's interest with a focus on amimals and animal facts and illustrations.
We did this book rather quickly ( a page or two per day), but we skipped some of the practice. My goal with this book was to teach my daugter the basics of cursive writing. This was her first year doing cursive. Looking through the book you can tell that her writing was rough in the beginning. However, by the end of the book there was improvement.
I liked this book as a beginning cursive writer. The examples are all in dashed lines that can be traced. There is ample room for practice. Plus, the price of this book is very reasonable.
Now that Laura has finished the book we are moving on the A Reason For Handwriting Cursive. Laura learned the basics and now I want her to practice writing words and sentences. A Reason for Handwriting uses Bible verses for practice.
