Wacky Sentences Handwriting Workbook (Reproducible): Practice Writing in Cursive (Third and Fourth Grade)
This workbook, <i>Wacky Sentences Handwriting Workbook</i>, is designed to inspire interest in cursive handwriting. This workbook focuses on writing complete sentences in cursive. Kids enjoy writing wacky sentences like, €œ<b>Two rabbits slept on a fox€s head</b>,€ and, €œ<b>Six elephants jumped over a giraffe</b>.€ Exercises like these help to make learning fun, even at home.<br/><br/>Four sections of this workbook help students develop their cursive writing skills at a variety of levels:<br/><br/><ul><li>Part 1 is the basic level. Students practice handwriting motions by tracing dotted sentences.</li><li>Part 2 advances to help students begin to write on their own. In this section, students first trace a dotted sentence and then copy the sentence onto a new line. The three traditional horizontal lines are included as a guide - solid top and bottom lines plus a dashed middle line help students master the relative heights of the letters, and to write across the page in straight lines.</li><li>Part 3 gives solid sentences instead of dotted sentences. At this stage, students practice their handwriting without first tracing the letters.</li><li>Part 4 is the most advanced stage. The given sentences are now printed and students must now rewrite them in cursive.</li></ul>Beginners may wish to start out with a more basic book that offers practice with individual letters before advancing to complete sentences, such as the <i>Letters, Words, and Silly Phrases Handwriting Workbook</i>.<br/><br/>May your students or children improve their handwriting skills and enjoy reading and writing these wacky sentences.
