Practice makes perfect—and that’s especially true for children who are learning to write cursive. Mastering this skill is often seen by children as a rite of passage—it’s the kind of writing grown-ups do. As adults, it’s easy to forget that our writing system asks children to learn four different forms of each of the 26 letters (upper- and lowercase print, upper- and lowercase cursive)! When children can automatically write each letter without having to labor over it too much, their minds are freed up for higherlevel thinking. Children will read with more fluency. They’ll also write faster, their mental energy devoted to expressing their thoughts on paper rather than to forming each individual letter correctly. Making Handwriting Practice Fun These fun, reproducible writing practice pages have many benefits: Just like any skill, cursive handwriting requires practice and lots of fine-tuning before letter formation and recognition become automatic. These sheets provide that practice. You can individualize instruction, handing out worksheets that will help each child with particular skills or letter formation. The more that children are engaged in playful writing activities, the more likely they are to associate writing with pleasure—and do more of it! Using This Book Each reproducible page in this book can be used for whole-group instruction or individual practice. You might keep reproducibles at the writing center and allow children to choose from among them freely, or send them home as homework. In Section 1, Better Letter Practice Pages, you’ll find reproducibles that reinforce Downhill Daredevils individual letter formation practice. Letters a aμ d dμ g g™ q qμ o o« c cμ are grouped by similarity of formation. For instance, the cursive letters a, d, g, q, o, and c aμ aμ aμ aμ aμ all begin with a backward, downward stroke dμ dμdμ dμ dμ (“Downhill Daredevils”!). The “better letter tips” g™ gg™ g™ g™ qμ qμ qμ qμ qμ on each practice page help children fine-tune o« o« o« o« o« and self-assess their writing.

Each page emphasizes a different o« letter’s formation. Tongue twisters, silly alliterative writing prompts, and more present invitations to write that kids can’t resist! Tongue twisters, in particular, provide auditory learners with additional reinforcement of letter sounds. You might also point out that in tongue twisters, the sounds seem to run together, and in cursive, the letters run together (are connected)! Section 3, Games and Puzzles, offers children fun, relaxing opportunities to read and write cursive and play with each letter in different contexts. Word searches, anagrams, scramblers, pangrams, acrostics, and other activities give children plenty of playful writing practice—and make them want to write!

For auditory learners, “talk through” each letter’s formation. For tactile learners, involve the sense of touch (see above). • Ask children to help you make signs and labels in cursive to display around the room. • Eat some letters! Cook spaghetti and use it in class to form letters and words. You can also try cheese or honey (the kinds that come in squeeze-top containers) or licorice. • Use the chalkboard. Let children practice their letters on the board so that they can see them at eye level. You might make permanent guiding lines with masking tape. In addition, you can wet sponges and “write” with them—a great way to clean the board! Children can watch their letters disappear as the water dries. • Take it outside. Use sidewalk chalk on the playground surface, form letters with jump ropes, or have the children form giant letters with their bodies. 6 Cursive Writing With a Twist © Kama Einhorn, Scholastic Teaching Resources Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq R r Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww X x Yy Z z Bfle˚t˚t∂e˚rμ L fle˚t˚t∂e˚rμ a˙nådμ W‡rƒi˚tƒi˙någ™ P‡råaçc˚tƒiçc∂eμ Pa婉e¬s› Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq R r Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww X x Yy Z z Cursive Writing With a Twist © Kama Einhorn, Scholastic Teaching Resources 7 Date The first stroke in all these letters goes uphill. 8 Make your small letters small and your tall letters tall.
