Handwriting Without Tears; Has anyone seen any cursive books for Special Needs?

[SonshineLearner]

I think I saw some on Amazon... or somewhere.. of Special Needs cursive... I'd like more cursive practice... for my (non special needs) third grader.. before going to 4th grade... and so I'm trying to find HWTs books that may work.

 

Thanks!!!!

We use HWT. I just write lines of practice when the kids have done the page in the book of practice, but it's still in need of improvement. I bought a ream of the HWT paper a couple of years ago and use that for the practice - usually 4-5 words per day.

 

We also use the HWT paper for WWE, and I'll do the copywork in a mix of printing and cursive depending on which letters the boys have learned. They don't seem to mind the mixed format. A sentence might look like The (cursive) cat (cursive) went (printed) to (printed) the (cursive) store (printed). Or whatever. I don't mix formats within a word.

 

I'm assuming you know about the HWT cursive books? http://www.amazon.com/Handwriting-Without-Tears-Grade-Cursive/dp/1891627708/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304797447&sr=8-6
