1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time-buy Scott-Foresman program instead!, March 30, 2003

This review is from: Uppercase Manuscript Practice (D'Nealian Handwriting from A to Z) (Paperback)

Don't waste your time on this one if this is all your child will use for penmanship. Your child will have to use a crayon to color in the large letters (about 8 of them per letter), then there's one line of letters to trace with a pencil, one line to practice on their own & the next page gives a few suggestions for words & they're on their own. I have bought & tried several D'Nealian handwriting books with my son and the one I'm most impressed with is put out by Scott-Foresman! The SF one doesn't just have letters to trace & practice like the other books, it also works on other skills. It starts off by showing pictures of children sitting correctly in their seats, how to hold your paper & pencil, etc. The book provides various exercises to work on good penmanship, including circling letters in a paragraph that are formed incorrectly. Later, they edit their own writing. Since trying this one, I've bought the 2nd grade level book for next year (which introduces cursive gradually) and the K book for my daughter...I wanted to be sure to have them on hand! Check those out instead!
