Handwriting

[bochead]

Does anyone know of GOOD free resources for cursive handwriting practice?

I personally like the sheets provided on amblesideonline but sadly they are strictly cursive. My son has real trouble with writing and our LEA are cursive fanatics for Year 2 so hoping I can give him a little extra help while he waits for a new school place.

Did you try the Times Ed resources?

'Handwriting Without Tears' series is a terrific handwriting help.
These were developed by an occupational therapist.
I have found the cursive book to be great for struggling handwriters. Just spend 10 to 15 minutes per day following the pages as they are (sometimes parents try to push the child to complete more pages in one sitting, etc, but best results are from keeping to the suggested schedule).
I have found this book to be great. Many schools use it as well. Only available online as far as I can see.
