Alicia64 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 One of my sons had tears with Handwriting Without Tears. So, we've done the red and the blue book and both of my 9 year olds are balking. Can you suggest another handwriting program that your child has loved? Thank you! Alley Quote
Aurelia Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Teach Me Joy to learn cursive strokes, Wacky Sentences (a workbook I found on Amazon) for practice. For manuscript, we used Zaner-Bloser's workbooks. Quote
serendipitous journey Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Button has liked the Zaner-Bloser books perfectly well. To jumpstart his manuscript, we used Evan Moor -- there are cursive versions of the Evan Moor daily handwriting available, too (haven't time to link now -- will try to get to it later). The Evan Moor, esp. after the alphabet is taught, has more interesting content -- the sentences teach basic science, general knowledge, &c. But the Zaner-Bloser is color and much much prettier: it is what Button prefers. Quote
Arboreal TJ Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 HWOT flopped at our house, we switched to Pentime with no regrets. Quote
boscopup Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 My son enjoys Pentime, and it's only $5.50 at Rainbow Resource. They have books through grade 8! Quote
SFM Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 HWOT doesn't seem to be working so well here either. I am going to give WRTR cursive a shot. I am listening in. Quote
tuckabella Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Teach Me Joy to learn cursive strokes We use this. I have a New American Cursive II workbook for after. Perhaps I will look into the Wacky Sentences. Quote
ByGrace3 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 We use HWOT for print and are having great success with Zaner Bloser for cursive. Quote
JudoMom Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 New American Cursive is working well here. Quote
alisoncooks Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I like Logic of English's cursive program. It does stand-alone, separate from LOE's other language arts. Quite affordable, too, IMO. Quote
