KLynnTX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I am trying to teach my 2nd grader cursive. I'd like to find some sheets he can practice with that I can print off the internet. His fine motor skills aren't the greatest. Can anyone suggest some good ones for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I found a good book of lined loose-leaf paper at KMart, which also had samples of the cursive letters on the inside cover. It was bound at the top so it flipped up to open, and the pages were removable. The added benefit was that there was just the slightest texture to the lines, so it seems to help the pen stop where it should on the line. Just mentioning this in case you don't find what you need online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipling Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Here is a site I have been using this year for my second grader: http://www.happyscribecopybooks.com/ You download their "copy books" and print off the sheets you want to use - they offer a lot of different sayings and use three different fonts - block printing, italics and cursive. They also have two levels of copywork - short simple sayings for young kids and longer passages for older kids. You do have to purchase their products, but they're pretty inexpensive ($1.50/book which includes 20 sayings in all three fonts). You can also purchase a compilation of several of their books for a lower per-book price. You download the book to your computer and then you have it there as long as you need and can print off as many copies as you want. I just received an email from them today saying that through the end of January, they are offering 11% off all their products (the discount shows up after an item is placed in the cart).

Unicorn. Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I used to use http://www.worksheetworks.com for this. You type in what you want them to copy, or trace. You can control the size of the font, choose whether to have mid-lines along w/ top and bottom, or not. Very flexible, and free! Go to the English section, and click on writing.

Ritko1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Also check out http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/ Its all free to print up and there is a handwriting section with cursive. The drawback to this one is they only have the one style to choose from, but they have tons of other math, language arts, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
