daisychics Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I need a cursive copybook for my ds son for 2nd grade. What is your favorite? Thanks! I don't have a favorite, yet. I just wanted to tell you that I love your posts.... because you always asks things that I want to ask. :D I am going to purchase Startwrite so that I can use the HWT cursive (I don't have it yet, so I can't tell you if I like it or not).

KIN Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Well, I'm glad my wondering helps someone besides myself. :) Does anyone have a favorite copybook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 http://stores.lulu.com/julieshields I happened to see this when looking at other stuff, don't actually use it. It is classical, scriptural, history oriented. If you are just looking for handwriting practice, we use this from Evan-Moor. The kids copy informational sentences and poems and stuff. Both have several different handwriting styles available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyL Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hello. We are using this one, and my son enjoys it. He is currently in second grade and is just about done with the first book. I have the second one for him to start and am going to buy the 3rd and 4th ones for him for next year. http://www.veritaspress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=000022&variation=&aitem=1&mitem=4 I forgot to add, I don't know if you want a secular book. This obviously is not. Hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenKase Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I initially began using HWT cursive book but decided to purchase the Startwrite program to use for both my dd8 and dd5. This program, hands down, has gotten my dd8 to write beautifully in cursive. Her penmanship is much better in cursive than it ever was in print!! The Startwrite program is customizable and is really versatile. When I first satrted my dd with the cursive, I used the gray letters to have her trace over with her pencil and then gradually moved onto cursive copywork and now she does it all freestyle and this program helped her achieve the desired goal, to write in cursive.

Marylou Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I just started doing this with my girls. . . I go to http://www.worksheetworks.com/english/writing/handwriting/handwriting-cursive-copy.html and type in the sentences they want to practice. The site makes a work sheet for them. It's pretty neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
