Kidlit Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My girls, ages 8 and 9, have been learning and practicing Getty-Dubay Italic now for a couple of years. They have both expressed interest in learning a "loopier" cursive. Does anyone know of a good free resource for one of these styles. I'm really not too picky as to which one, obviously. I'm just trying to pick my battles and give them something they like. :chillpill: :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Cursive First and all of my kids have had success with it, but, frankly, just finding some lined paper and having them trace and practice letters, then practice joining them, then practice words is all my mom did when she taught me cursive before I learned at school. You could even find an alphabet you like, print it out, and laminate it. Sometimes, I think things are harder than they need to be. I'm more guilty than the next mom :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Dawn, you are absolutely right. Why aren't these things obvious to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Dawn, you are absolutely right. Why aren't these things obvious to me? Well. I used Cursive First with three kids before I figured it out, so maybe you're in good company? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have NOT found it that easy. I think handwriting scripts are essential. I like the instructions in WRTR 6th, and I like HLtL if you want prepared worksheets. http://www.lulu.com/shop/kathy-jo-devore/handwriting-websters-syllabary-with-phonograms/ebook/product-21467230.html Free Elson Reader copywork in HLtL http://www.lulu.com/shop/kathy-jo-devore/handwriting-the-elson-readers-primer/ebook/product-21415754.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
