Product Review

Available in both paperback and e-book formats. The e-book edition requires copying handwritten sentences onto lined paper, whereas the paperback edition allows for both tracing and writing directly in the workbook.

This workbook, Cursive Handwriting Practice Workbook for Teens, is designed to inspire teens' interest in learning and practicing cursive handwriting. Teens enjoy writing sentences like "Wizard school is so cool," and, "Talk to you later." Exercises like these help to make learning fun, even at home. This unique teenage handwriting workbook provides teens who need to improve their cursive writing fluency a chance to do it with a more age appropriate workbook (since the sentences were prepared with a teenage audience in mind).

Note: For teens who need more advanced handwriting practice (with a smaller font size and narrower lines, and without tracing exercises), Julie Harper also has a more advanced cursive handwriting workbook for teens: Advanced Cursive Handwriting Practice Workbook for Teens (ISBN 1523234598).

This workbook focuses on writing phrases and sentences in cursive in three parts:

• Students practice tracing and copying phrases and sentences in Part 1.
• Part 2 just involves copying (with no tracing).
• A challenge is presented in Part 3: The sentences are printed, and students must rewrite them in cursive. This requires students to remember what the cursive letters look like (though they can look at a chart on pages 5-6 if they need a reminder).

May your students or teenagers improve their handwriting skills and enjoy reading and writing these phrases and sentences.
