Cursive Practice

The kids all cheered when we told them that we would be starting cursive this week!  Much to their delight, we started today with the undercurve lower case letters, beginning with lower case "i".  While we will be using Zaner-Bloser in class, we will be using Handwriting Without Tears for additional OT help in tutoring.

If you would like to print out additional practice cursive letter worksheets to do at home, you can do so here.  We will be practicing using specialized OT grips to help our grips and letter construction.  These grips we are using are designed by an occupational therapist (O.T.) to correct improper pencil grasps. A barrier prevents the thumb from overlapping and a rim keeps fingers at the correct distance from the point. You can order more for home here on Amazon.
