Prewriting, Lower & Uppercase letters, Review Weeks & Vocabulary practice
- Prewriting is the key to handwriting success.
- Lower- & Uppercase letters are learned in both manuscript and cursive together.
- Every 3 letters, there is a review week. Take this time to reinforce what they've learned.

Studies have shown that teaching cursive handwriting alongside manuscript can actually improve a child’s handwriting. Cursive has definite lines and rules to follow, where as little ones tend to get letters mixed up and turned around in manuscript.
This curriculum goes from prewriting, in the beginning stages of teaching your child how to properly hold a pencil, into manuscript and cursive writing side-by-side.
This curriculum starts at the beginning. Whether they know how to hold a pencil correctly or not, they can work on proper technique as well as prewriting lines and shapes.

“I had no idea how thorough, comprehensive and plain awesome it was going to turn out!”
I've been researching brain development and things that have been proven to help with that. One thing was teaching cursive early and even at the same time as print. I didn't really want to have to buy two sets of workbooks to accomplish this, but I searched all over for something and came up empty handed. I began asking in some online groups; and Annette responded she could make something. I was excited because she just saved me mega planning time. I had no idea how thorough, comprehensive and plain awesome it was going to turn out! Not only does she include both print/cursive upper & lower case letters; she also includes complete word practice AND prewriting templates and information!! You cannot go wrong with Mastering Handwriting at Any Level! We love it!!
