Description

“As a pediatric occupational therapist, I work with a wide variety of students who are unable to write in print, but are very successful with writing in cursive as writing in cursive activates a different part of our brains. Crystal Radke’s The Complete Cursive Handwriting Workbook For Kids is a vital, essential, and beautifully done tool. I will be using it consistently in my daily sessions working with students.” —Samantha Adkins, Registered Occupational Therapist, OTR "As a mother of five, I was disappointed when our local public school system chose to eliminate cursive handwriting from the curriculum. There are so many benefits to teaching our children the cursive, from teaching fine motor skills and patience to developing a strong worth ethic. Thankfully, Crystal Radke fills in the gap and offers a fun, creative tool for teaching our children the necessary life skill of writing in cursive. My 11-year-old daughter loved the vibrant colors and cute jokes throughout the book. I give The Complete Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids an A+." —Elizabeth Oates, author, speaker, and founder of Collab Conference for Writers ”Wow! Crystal Radke takes the task of learning cursive handwriting and turns it into a fun and creative exercise for kids. The practice lessons in the second half of the book with jokes is quite humorous and, most importantly, effective!” —Tammy Schulte, mother and educator specializing in dyslexia CRYSTAL RADKE is an educator, speaker, writer, and mother. Her personal mission is to help children learn and grow. She runs a consulting business where she mentors educators and promotes professional development.

Just what I was looking for.

My daughter wasn't interested in learning cursive until we purchased this. I read to her while she practices her handwriting. She loves it.

Don't waste your money

This book is pretty much useless for teaching cursive. The letters are not taught in a logical order based on how they are formed (like in Rhythm of Handwriting or Handwriting Without Tears). Rather they are taught in alphabetical order with capitals and lower case taught together on the same page.

The pages that teach how to write words have lines that are way too close together. They have words written with dotted lines and numbered arrows, but they're so small that all of the numbers get jumbled together.

This book looks appropriate for early elementary based on the cover and the pictures, but the lines are too close together to accommodate the fine motor skills of young children.

I bought this book because of the promise of silly jokes. I hoped that would keep my 10-year-old amused while practicing cursive. The only jokes are at the back of the book, though. The child is supposed to have y the punch line for the first 10 jokes, but the dotted words are written with no ruled lines. Then, for the next 11 jokes, the child is supposed to write the entire joke in cursive. There are lines provided in this section, but they are so close together that it would be hard for many children to write using those lines.

I ended up throwing this book away after my son attempted to complete 2 pages and got frustrated by the tiny lines and I got frustrated by the lack of guidance on how to teach proper letter formation.

Great Book for Beginners

We purchased this as a summer workbook and my daughter really enjoys learning cursive with it. It starts out with upper and lower case letters and then progresses to words and sentences. It comes with a certificate for them at the very end.

Makes Perfect Penmanship Pursuit Fun!

The Complete Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids

This Cursive Handwriting Workbook makes pursuing perfect penmanship fun! I remember doing the Penmanship Exercises and having to pass certain benchmarks back in school. This workbook has pages complete with the dotted middle lines to help place your loops and get good ratios.

Then there are pages with words and games and silly jokes to practice and make these Cursive exercises fun and engaging. So much better than what I had as a kid.

Highly recommend. Get your kid handwriting and engaging more neuropathways in your kids’ brains than texting alone one letter at a time ever can.

I received a copy of this fun workbook from the Publisher for an honest review.

help children develop their writing skills and teach them silly jokes that they can share

"The Complete Cursive Handwriting Workbook for Kids: Laugh, Learn, and Practice the Alphabet with Silly Jokes" is a beautifully simple concept: Help children develop their writing skills and teach them silly jokes that they can share with others. Author Crystal Radke has created an easy to use handwriting guide with ruled pages featuring alphabet letters and words in cursive. The teaching is progressive from just letters, then to simple words, and finally to short sentences. At the top of each letters-only page, there is a word that begins with the designated letter, from "Apple starts with A" all the way through "Zebra starts with Z". On the words-only pages there is a cute illustration that matches the first letter of the word, like "B for Bat", "O for Octopus", and "Q for Quilt". The sentences are jokes and answers to jokes. At the very end of the book, there is a "Certificate of Completion" to award as recognition for learning how to write in cursive. Younger children who are not quite ready for writing will enjoy learning to sound out the letters and match them to the pictures.
