Course Overview
C is for Cursive Handwriting Class is a systematic course created for beginning writers that have a knowledge of printed letters and early reading skills. The course will connect print handwriting to connecting letters to make cursive through advancing handwriters that will build on principles of establishing fine-motor control. Students will work through learning basic letter stems and strokes, learn lowercase letter families, numbers, punctuation symbols, and finally uppercase capital letters.
After letter memorization is established, the course will work through letter spacing to form words, word spacing in sentences, and work from large letters through wide-ruled letter sizes. The cursive learner will establish control of many sizes of lines through the lessons with tracing established letters and words to create muscle memory control.
The final advanced lessons will have the student writing cursive on wide-ruled lined paper and no line paper.
This course includes:
- 5 Sections
- 30 Video Lessons with step-by-step guidance for each letter, word, and sentence
- 87 Practice Sheets with hand-written traceable letters, words, and steps.
