Cursive Handwriting-2nd Edition Derek Schuger

This book presents an innovative approach for kids to establish an elegant handwriting style subconsciously. With this book, kids read the famous story "How Toys Become Real" and, meanwhile, trace the story word by word. The sequential finger movements activate neural activities, such as thinking and language processing. Their attention will be on the story characters, such as the rabbit, the skin horse and the fairy, etc., and subconsciously, the signals of hand fine motor movements pass from fingertips to the brain and, gradually, form a neat and elegant handwriting style. Forming a neat and elegant handwriting style is a byproduct of a writing practice when kids use this this workbook. The header of "Trace the words like you are writing a story" on each even pages leads to a sense of writing a story; a fun and creative activity. This book enhances composition and expression skills and gets kids started on "writing" practice at early age. Recent studies have shown that children write more words, faster, and express more ideas when writing essays by hand, versus with a keyboard. This book provides a tool for kids who would like and stay ahead of the competition curve.
