This resource is a cursive writing notebook that gradually increases knowledge of cursive letters. There is a page for practice for each upper and lower case letter. After each set of 3 letters a student learns, there is an opportunity to connect the letters and then form words using only the letters they have learned so far. There are 10 trace and write cursive sentence pages and several blank practice pages at the end. The notebook can be stapled or bound for each student, or given as individual practice pages. All pages begin with the “arrow” font to remind students which pencil strokes come first. 90 pages
