Hi, I'm looking for cursive handwriting recommendations. I really dislike the ones where the capital A is a large lowercase a. I was looking at the 5 spencerian books, although I'm worried it might be too hard? I know it used to be used in schools, does anyone know what age? If children first grade ish used to manage it, I'm sure mine will with practice. If it was used for older children, does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi, I really can't decide what to use for 1st grade Language Arts (Year 2 here in the UK). For reading I have 3 vintage anthologies she'll be reading from. Sorted. (For school - obviously lots of other books she can read!) But grammar I'm struggling with. I have purchased 3 things and I love them all, I'd love to pick your minds on them and hear your thoughts, I have on old non-cosumable UK textbook which covers a bit of everything, including phonics (although this will just be review - she's almost done with it). I'm definitely using it because I want to make sure there is a UK book in the mix for English/LA. It will go alongside either book below nicely. Then I have also bought primary language lessons by Emma Serl and FLL (the version where 1&2 are in one volume). They were both only a few pounds secondhand, I figured I'd get them both to see which one I'd like best. Now issue is I really like both of these and I have no idea which to use. 3 books will probably be an overkill. I'd love to hear your thoughts on PLL vs FLL.
