Prescripts Cursive Review

Tori and Kate are loving learning to write cursive!

These workbooks from Classical Conversations are perfect!

We like the copywork and drawing in PreScripts Cursive Words and Drawing.

You can use these independent of a Classical Conversations co-op. And they also coincide with Cycle 2 Memory Work.

Introduces children to the building blocks of cursive writing: letters, then words, then simple sentences. This book focuses on lessons from Proverbs and the book of James as well as drawing lessons using basic shapes.

I love the Bible verses that this book focuses on. It’s good practice for us and we do it every morning as part of our Bible lessons.

There are three parts:

1. Letters, Words, and Scriptures
2. Writing Numbers in Cursive
3. Tricky Letter Combinations in the First Chapter of James

Tori traces the A page with the Bible verse. We love the reinforcement of the copywork and memory work.

The first couple pages are the alphabet. It’s a good reference.

Kate traces the D page. The girls learned that some letters are easier than others!

Here is a completed B page. I went back with the girls and had them practice the letters and words in between the tracing and that really helped.

We really like the little drawing pages that progress from lines, angles, curves, squiggles to boats, spiders, turtles, patterns, symmetry (mirror). It’s just extra fun and fine motor practice.

According to the intro pages, they utilize methods from and recommend Drawing With Children by Mona Brookes.

PreScripts Cursive Words and Drawing is $12.99.

Recommended for ages 5-10.

{I did purchase an extra workbook since I have two daughters on the same learning level.}
