Learning Cursive with Little Women

 

Learning Cursive with Little Women


Are you a Jo, Meg, Beth, or Amy?  

I used to think I was a Jo, but as I've aged I have accepted that I am a Meg, complete with twins and married to a man named Jon. Little Women is a timeless novel that I think every woman should read at least once in her lifetime (boys and men also benefit greatly also from this beautiful story, it is one of my sons' favorites).

Learning Cursive with Little Women is a cursive handwriting curriculum designed to give meaningful handwriting practice through copywork of words and quotes from "Little Women".  This workbook is perfect for use in homeschool, classroom, a summer bridge, or anytime your child needs handwriting practice. Use alongside a family read-aloud, supplement independent book study, or just fun copying favorite quotes from this beloved classic literature.

PART ONE: LETTER PRACTICE

Little Women Cursive Letter Practice

 Demonstrate and show your child how to write each letter, following the arrows with your finger.  First trace over every letter, then copy onto blank rows. The last copy rows focus on joining the letters without lifting your pencil. Check your child’s work after the first line for correct penmanship and to correct any bad habits or confusion. Have your child circle their best letter on the workbook page to help train their eyes as well as their hand.


PART TWO: WORD COPYWORK

Little Women Word Copywork

 Suggested schedule is for your student to copy two to three pages a week. First they will trace over every letter, using arrows and numbers as their guide, then copy words onto blank rows. Check your child’s work to correct any bad habits or confusion. Have your child circle their best word on the workbook page to help train their eyes as well as their hand.


PART THREE: QUOTE COPYWORK

Little Women Quote Copywork

I suggest your student copy one to three quotes a week, depending on your child's ability. 
The quotes get longer and progressively harder, so depending on your child’s pace, they may need to take a few days to finish the longer quote. Keep it fun! For an extra fun challenge, try to find the quotes in the book.
