[1st Grade Handwriting?!?]

Thank you ladies for the help and suggestions!

[1st Grade Handwriting?!?]

I am trying to decide which handwriting curriculum to use for my DS (6) for first grade next year. I have not been impressed with A reason for Handwriting this year and can't decide between Zaner-Bloser or HWOT. Any preferences or suggestions? I am a first time homeschooler living overseas so buying multiple things is not an option if something doesn't work out. Please help...

Mr. Engineer will be in 1st grade. He's my hands on build-it, fix-it, analyze it child. My main goal is to get him reading solidly/fluently. He's had a bit of a "click" recently that I suspect is a combination of maturity and finally (hopefully!) finding the approach that makes sense to him.

 

Reading/Phonics: 100 EZ Lessons and Phonics Pathways (pretty much continue what we're doing now)

Math: Math Mammoth 1 moving into 2

Handwriting: Zaner Bloser 1

Grammar: First Language Lessons 1

Writing: Gentle narration and copy work worked into Science and History

History: SOTW 3

Science: RS4K Chemistry + various experiments

 

I see that you are going to possibly be using Zaner-Bloser for handwriting. I also saw that you are currently using HWOT. Is there a reason for the change? I am currently using A Reason for Handwriting with DS (6 in May) but I havent loved it. I have been debating between HWOT and Z-B for next year. Any thoughts?
