How to Use This Pack

Eight pages of everyday words written in cursive, seven words a page: short words, animal words, color words, number words, words with the joins from b, o, v and w, words with double letters, school words and weather words. Each row shows the word in ink, then copies to trace that fade, then room to write it on its own. The first copy has a start dot, and every letter is joined, so the pencil stays down until the word is done.

In the Classroom

Use a page as a warm-up before writing time. Read the words together first, so children read cursive as well as write it. Model one word on chart paper, saying the letters as you join them, then let children trace and write the rest.

At Home

Pick a page that matches what you are doing: the weather words on a rainy day, the color words while drawing. Read each word together before your child traces it.

Tips for Success

  • Start at the dot on the first copy
  • Keep the pencil down until the word is done
  • Dot the i and cross the t at the end
  • Leave a space as wide as an o between words
  • Read the word out loud when you finish it
