Denise Eide is offering a free download for the beta testing of her new Manuscript handwriting program. I know there's been a lot of talk about handwriting and cursive or manuscript first, so I thought I would post this here for others to look over.
-
I just received my copy today and honestly, I LOVE it so far. (sorry, I know you were asking for those that did not like it) For me, I love that everything is scripted out and that there is a workbook that goes right along with it. When we were using AAS I used to make my own workbook pages.
Also, I just saw today that Denise is offering a free download for her new Manuscript handwriting program for beta testing.

Tried all that. It showed me the search results, but page 67 was grayed out, so I couldn't view it. If I clicked on it, it took me to the next available page, which was somewhere in the 100s. :glare:
It worked for me today. :confused: I just had to make sure I was signed in.

yep, same here

It still doesn't have page 67, where the cursive instruction is! :lol:
I know. I see the sample of someone's writing, but not the actual instruction itself. :tongue_smilie: I just checked with my local Barnes and Noble, nope, not there.

This is the best look inside the book I have seen yet!

You can see the handwriting in the preview on Amazon. Here is the link. http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Road-Reading-6th-Rev/dp/0062083937/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333155311&sr=8-1
I believe page 42 is the beginning of the print information and page 67 is the beginning of the cursive. The cursive section has been expanded from previous editions.
HTH
Thanks Brianna, but I didn't see any handwriting pages on that preview. :001_huh: Did you see them there? Am I seeing something different than you?
-
Sorry if I have missed it somewhere, but are there samples of the handwriting in WRTR anywhere?

We are using Joy of Handwriting: Cursive with my 3rd grader, it's mostly independent (she's doing the pdf on the iPad) and her cursive is really nice!
I love the looks of this font, but my ds would have the same problem with this as many others. All of the examples are on the left side of the page. That doesn't work well for lefties. Bummer, it is a great price too.
ETA: I have Startwrite. I just need to suck it up and make my own I guess. :lol:

LOE (Logic of English) is putting out a new cursive handwriting program. They don't have it up on their website yet, but the author said there should be samples up soon. For now they have some multi-sensory cursive instructions posted free on their website. There are examples of how to form the letters there as well.
-
Are you talking about all the sounds that Y makes? LOE (like AAS) has 4 sounds for Y. y (yard), short i (gym), long i (by), long e (baby).
I have never read WRTR so I am not sure if this is what you were talking about or not. If not, disregard this and consider it a bump. :lol:

Did you buy one of each deck of cards?
You beat me to it. :)

CLE can be very visual if you use lots of manipulatives for every concept introduced .
We do this and use the white board a lot. For memorizing math facts, I have heard that using flash cards that have the answer on them in a different color works really well. That's what we are about to try.
-
I can't seem to pull up their Web site right now, but doesn't HWT put their lines underneath the words to help lefties with that exact problem? They also use a cursive font with no slant.
The letter/s they are learning are up above, but the words they are to copy are on the left side of the page. The review and mastery pages have the examples up top, but the actual lessons for each letter are not like that. Here is a sample from HWOT. I am selling my brand new copy of Cursive Handwriting for this very reason.
Here is an example on RR in case you can't get the HWOT site to work.

Is this the one you are talking about?
Blessings,
Yep, that would be the one. :) Thanks
-
Could you try that link again? It just pulls up my shopping cart on CBD, not a product page.
Sorry. Fixed the link in my first post.

Someone that has the set already please correct if I am wrong, but looking at the TOC online, it looks like the phonograms, spelling rules, and grammar rules are listed in the teacher's manual. You could make your own cards. A pack of card stock is not that expensive.

Mine's being delivered on Tuesday :drool:
Can't wait to get it in my hands. We'll have to compare notes:001_smile:
Blessings,

So, what do you think? I just received Uncovering the Logic of English this afternoon from Amazon. I am on Chapter 7 already and LOVE it. The Essentials program sounds really promising.

React fast but mostly fail anyway and end up tripping and banging my elbow on something.
Yes, this. Except I would probably hurt more than my elbow.
Catch it and pee yourself.:lol: However, this is a strong possibility as well.
-
Can't help with this one specifically, but if you google Mystery of History timeline blog, you will come up with all kinds of blogs to look through. I did it just now and it was fun! :lol:
-
I've skimmed the thread and haven't seen this mentioned...
I noticed there are some differences between the sounds used with the basic phonograms in LOE and AAS. My struggling reader (newly turned 10yo) has been using AAS for a couple of months and I'm worried that switching to LOE might confuse her.
If you've switched from one program to another, what was your experience?
Thanks!
:bigear: Would love to hear about this as well.

We use a series by Train Up a Child Publishing. Each one covers a specific character trait. There are 16 lessons. In each lesson they use stories straight out of the bible that go with that character trait. I love it that my son reads straight from the bible. There are also a few activities and memory verses.
You can also get them at Christianbook.com (CBD). We use these and the Kids of Integrity site that 3peasinapod linked above. Lessons in Responsibility for Boys is also good and found at CBD as well.

:lol: I hear you. I received my copy of Uncovering the Logic of English last week and really loved reading through it. I had several light bulb moments while reading it. :001_smile: I just received my LOE Essentials teacher's guide, student workbook and game book today. I have gotta say, what I have read and seen so far I really like. I REALLY love that I can cover phonics, spelling, grammar, and dictation in one curriculum. There is even editing practice. The real test will be when we actually start using it, but I think it will be a good fit for my ds.
