Good handwriting is not just for handwriting class. Legible handwriting will help in all school subjects. Clearly written communication is important throughout life. This book guides in the development of legible handwriting and provides the practice children need to progress and succeed. Improving cursive writing provides students additional practice with their simplified Zaner-Bloser cursive, including: double letters, undercurve joinings, checkstroke joinings, and overcurve joinings. Keys to legibility such as size, slant, and shape are also discussed. There is plenty of room for practice with frequent review. Additional sections on common beginnings and endings along with "writing with rhythm" allow students to continue to build confidence in their cursive writing. Numerals 1-10 are included as well as space for manuscript maintenance.
