Reddit mentions of Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids: Beginning Cursive

I felt the exact same when I was an almost-13-year-old! I've always loved cursive and calligraphy. My 8th grade English teacher used to assign handwritten journal entries every week for our reading logs (do you still do reading logs?)

Anyways, I taught myself cursive and used the entries as practice. I haven't gone back since! If you ever want to teach yourself, look into getting a cursive workbook from Amazon! They're super inexpensive. Here's their best seller if you're interested.

And your handwriting is great btw :)

I got lots of links. I would start with the prewriting book. It goes through the letters in a pretty systematic way. The Wacky Sentences is a good way to practice in a fun way. The link with Year 2-3 Dotted Lined Paper, make sure to look up that paper. That's lined paper that grade should be using. The first steps in writing will help in writing sentences. You also need to address standards, which is the Spectrum book. The last two address cursive.



A couple important points. Think of handwriting as a font. Each kid has a font. It doesn't have to be perfect. It has to be formed correctly but each kid can put a spin on it. Look up pencil grips. Make sure the kids are holding pencils correctly. If they aren't, they won't be able to control the pencil. If they can't control the pencil, the writing will be off.
