Are the Zaner-Bloser Teacher Edition and/or Practice Masters worthwhile?

[Squawky Acres]

Now that Rainbow Resource is carrying my favorite Zaner-Bloser handwriting at excellent prices, I am considering the Teacher Edition and/or Practice Masters to go along with our regular workbooks.  I find the workbooks to be excellent, and easy to follow, so I haven't felt the need for a teacher's manual.  I was interested in the Practice Masters, however, as I do tend to want some more practice at times.  

 

I just had my 5-year-old do another K workbook as I didn't feel she had mastered handwriting.  Because of her personality type, she happily worked through a second one with no complaint; but I wouldn't count on getting away with that with some of my other students.  I also like that the Practice Masters are reproducible, so it may end up being the same price or less expensive than buying duplicates of the workbooks for several children.

 

Does anyone have the Teacher Edition or Practice Masters, and do you have any thoughts about how useful they are?

Can't help with teachers manual or practice masters, but there is a free worksheet builder at ZF:  https://www.zaner-bloser.com/sites/default/files/public/FontsOnline_Sampler/FontsOnline_Sampler/index.html

You would have to type in your own exercises, but could copy from the workbook? 

 

Donna Young also has preset by letter ZF manu/curvsive worksheets:  http://www.donnayoung.org/penmanship/zb-cursive-handwriting-worksheets.htm

I would say no.  For extra practice, I'd prefer to write my own copywork using the free version of ZB FontsOnline (I think that's what it's called) and/or use Presidential Penmanship, Zaner-Bloser style (graded copywork from presidential quotes). 

 

ETA: I don't own the teacher's/practice; I've just looked at samples and posted about them.

Thank you for the advice!  I think I will just stick with the workbooks for now and try to make some print-outs for extra practice.
