I bought this book for my 9 year old boy when he showed interest in cursive writing.I was looking for a book which keeps his interest alive and is fun doing it everyday.The writer has done a wonderful job of putting together an interesting, immensely creative book with loads of fun, wacky and creative sentences. This book takes the student step by step through the writing process with loads of fun and just the right amount of practice not to overwhelm the child. This is a great book for beginners and also for the advanced writers as towards the end the writer does write the sentences in regular format and children are expected to write in cursive format. My son loved this book so much that we ended up buying an another copy for his best buddy as a present. His buddy opened the book in our house and i could hear loud laughter in the other room as they were flipping the pages of the book. I would highly recommend this book for homeschooling and also as an enrichment tool for kids after school.

As a teacher, I'm aware of the connection that handwriting - cursive handwriting, specifically - has with learning in the brain; as a dyslexia teacher, I know the value that it has to the dyslexic brain in writing and spelling with automaticity and fluidity. Sadly, my district decided about 10 years ago that it wasn't an important enough skill in the Age of Testing to spend time on it. Not so in Ms. Standefer's middle school classes.

When my students have a few minutes before the next assignment, they grab one of these short practice pieces, at least three times per week. They're proud of their improved handwriting and I've heard a couple of them comment to friends in their other classes that they should learn to write properly. Yeah, they used that word, too. Love that middle school age.....

While the book says "Third and Fourth Grade", it's mainly the content that's a bit silly for older kids, not the cursive exercises, themselves. I'll be looking next for something with lines of poetry or quotes.

I purchased this for my 8 year old 4th grade daughter. I assumed that our public school system taught cursive writing in third grade, but third grade came and went without any cursive instruction. I had taught her the letters at home and needed a good practice workbook. My daughter is excited about this book and has already started. The sentences are just silly enough (but clean) that I hear a little giggle once in a while.

This book is perfect for those that have had some instruction on cursive writing. There are two initial pages of just the capital and lowercase letters for kids to practice and remember. I really appreciate how the book is not just page after page of mindless copying of sentences. There are three parts that build on each other. There are simpler sentences to trace and then more complex sentences or cursive transitions to trace. The third section shows the cursive sentence and two lines below for kids to write on their own. The final section shows sentences in print (not cursive) and two lines below for kids to write the sentences in cursive. The lines include the dotted line in the middle so that the techniques can be practiced and mastered.

Bought this for my 8yr old who wanted to learn cursive. Although the sentences are funny, it is not a book for beginners.
The first chapter has you trace all the sentences. The second sentence has you trace the copy the sentences. The third chapter has you copying the sentences without tracing.
The problem with that was that there were no arrows to show how to start the letter and how to carry over to the next letter. My son was doing what felt comfortable to him, like start the O's on the bottom.
I bought him the school zone cursive writing grades 3-4 which has them start one letter at a time and then has sentences that start with that same letter. Such as "Annie ant ate an apple".
This seems to work better for him.

Love this book! DS10 has had difficulty writing cursive r's, especially after o's. Harper's lowercase o's have a loop in them that make a seamless flow from the o to the r. Same thing occurs when writing the cursive s after the looped o; there is a smooth transition between letters that helps DS close the s more easily. Since the pages are reproducible, I copy the same pages DS10 is doing and write them with my less dominant hand; it gives a good perspective of how tirng and difficult handwriting can be for a young person who hasn't had years of practice to build the fine motor skills.

I thought perhaps it was just my school district, but I've confirmed with several educators in other locations, teachers no longer teach children to write in cursive. My 11 year old son's cursive has many opportunities for improvement. This book meets the goals!

A great teaching tool for teaching an upper elementary child how to write in cursive. The fact that the sentences are "wacky" just help to make the learning easy. I'm very satisfied with the product and its results.

Great practice for cursive writing. Both my 9 and 11 year old used it to learn and enhance their cursive writing. It begins with tracing the words, then tracing once and writing the same sentences, and finally looking at the sentence in print and writing it in cursive. The sentences are funny and cute - not too long to get boring.
