Seven pages for reading cursive, which children need as much as writing it. On the first, children read twelve animal words in cursive and write each one in print. The next two have them draw lines from cursive words, then the days of the week, to the same words in print. Then eight sentences to read and mark true or not, and three short notes written on cards in cursive: a shopping list, a thank you note from Grandma and a party invitation, each with four questions to answer in print.
Use these once children have met most of the cursive letters. Read a note aloud together the first time, pointing to each word, then let children answer the questions on their own. The notes make a good model for writing a note of their own in cursive.
Write your child a short note or a shopping list in cursive, then ask them to read it back to you. Old letters and cards from family are good reading practice too.
Worksheets for reading words, sentences and short notes written in cursive. Children match cursive words to print, decide whether sentences are true and answer questions about a shopping list, a note and an invitation.
