Noreen Claire Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) My 4.5 yr old hasn't really been interested in school so far. I printed out a daily preschool notebook but he is only interested in it about once a week. However, when he is tracing the letters/numbers he writes them from bottom-to-top and from right-to-left. I asked him if he would like a handwriting workbook to learn to write the letters properly and he said yes. However, he wants to learn to write like his brother is learning (cursive), not like the letters in his daily notebook. So, is there a cursive book out there for lefty 4.5yr old who know all their letters in manuscript but doesn't yet read? His brother is using Zaner-Bloser 2C - should I just get him his own copy? I'm not sure that he has the fine motor skills yet to really 'do' handwriting, but he wants to try...

HomeAgain Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 You could look up Cursive First. It's meant for younger children. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Barefoot meandering has a handwriting book called handwriting for beginners. It has options for several fonts. It's PDF and there are options to make it bigger or smaller when you print. http://barefootmeandering.com/site/lessons-through-literature/hltl/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 The only specifically-lefty advice I can give is that many (but not all!) lefties prefer cursive styles that are upright rather than slanted. So keep that in mind when picking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
