Handwriting: Learn Cursive! (Letter Tracing, Practice)

An excellent work book. Start at the beginning (!) and work your way through it and by the end you'll know how to write in the cursive style. The book contains lots of space for practicing writing. The pages are also perforated so that they can be removed from the book and used completely flat to make practice a little easier. A really good resource for anyone wanting to improve their writing, getting into calligraphy or creative journaling. I used a fairly broad nib fountain pen (a rotring ArtPen) as it was more forgiving and made my first attempts look better than a biro. It also made the process of learning to write like this quite tactile as the pen felt nice and smooth to write with. I also used a 5 mm quadrille notebook to write in (rather than the book itself) as I wanted to leave the book in as-new condition. Using squared paper allowed me to keep my writing straight, slanted consistently and in proportion. Having completed the book, I know how to form letters and words in a cursive style, but my "joined-up" writing is not yet completely smooth and natural, but I suspect it may never become as good as if I'd been writing this way for the last fifty years. I'm just about to complete the book a second time, but this time I've been using my left hand just for the challenge and to see how hard it would be. Fortunately I've learned to write with my other hand through choice, but for those who have no choice but to learn to write using their other hand, this would also be a great resource.

First one arrived already used and drawn on in crayon, a replacement was sent and was asked to return the original used one which I was happy to do but no return label was emailed to me as told there was. I was then charged for the replacement so I’ve paid for 2 books and one that’s been used!

Not all letters are clear and how they are taught in school.Also spacing is too large so the practice is not for a normal school book size.

Americanised style of writing

My step son uses this to practice his letters and finds it easy to follow

Good book for practising cursive handwriting, only quibble is that some of the letters are too swirly, to my mind, so I've simplified them for my child.

Very educational
