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.

Writing Skills are scaffolded upon each other, as the the child progresses from letter practice to word and quote copywork. Includes Cursive Alphabet Reference Chart (D'nealian Script), upper and lower case practice, "Little Women" related word practice and quotes for copywork . 


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.

Learning Cursive with Anne of Green Gables

Learning Cursive with Anne of Green Gables


Learning Cursive with Anne of Green Gables is available to buy on Amazon!

 This is my fourth Cursive Workbook, and I thought nothing would top the process of looking for quotes Learning Cursive with The Hobbit and Learning Cursive with Narnia......until Anne

As a child, I was a pale freckly talkative girl who used big words for big ideas, and spent most of her time being told, or telling herself, to just stop talking. To be honest, I wasn't introduced to Anne of Green Gables until I was an adult.  The first time I saw the Anne of Green Gables play, I remember joyfully crying  as the quiet Matthew and stern Marilla fall in love this overly chatty little girl.

"Matthew, much to his own surprise, was enjoying himself. Like most quiet folks he liked talkative people when they were willing to do the talking themselves and did not expect him to keep up his end of it."Anne of Green Gables

  As I matured I have been "pruned down and branched out"  like Anne, but I am still me. For the most part I have learned when to filter and how to externally process in a healthy way, but I am still a freckly talkative girl who loves big words for big ideas. 

"I’m not a bit changednot really. Im only just pruned down and branched out. The real meback hereis just the same." Anne of Green Gables
THESE BOOKS WORK!
My son went from HATING writing to asking for cursive practice with my original Narnia Cursive workbook, the same format as the Anne Workbook. Kids learn through MEANING, and every meaningful word and quote will make your kids forget they are practicing their handwriting. 


The Learning Cursive Series is designed for many ages; children just learning cursive, for older preteens and teens who need penmanship practice, or for adults who want to copy these beloved quotes.  They  can be used alongside a book study or as Charlotte Mason Copywork.
All quotes are written in D'Nealian Script.





Part One-Letter Practice
The letters are in D'nealian script. Children train their eye as well as their hand by circling their best letter on the page.


Part Two- Word Practice
Children learn best when their work is meaningful to them. Part Two includes words to copy that have meaning from the book, covering every letter of the alphabet. It would be tragical to miss out!


Part Three- Quote Copywork
Quotes from Anne, Dianna, and the world of Green Gables will give meaning to cursive practice.

Learning Cursive with Proverbs

Learning Cursive with Proverbs

Bible Based Cursive Workbook


You asked and we listened!

 After publishing Learning Cursive with Narnia and Learning Cursive with The Hobbit, I had several people ask for a Bible Based Cursive Workbook. Prayer and discussion led us to the choosing the book of Proverbs as an appropriate copy work. We chose proverbs we felt children could understand on their level, and apply to their own lives.

The translation we chose  for the quote copywork (Part Three of the workbook) is 
New International Reader's Version (NIrV) Early Reader's Bible because it written on a third grade reading level, making it a perfect fit since many children begin cursive in third grade. 


Proverbs Cursive workbook is designed to give meaningful handwriting practice for elementary and middle school students. It can be used as a first introduction to cursive or penmanship practice for older students!

Includes:
  • Cursive Alphabet Reference Chart
  • upper and lower case practice
  •  Proverb related word practice
  • Proverb quotes for copywork from NIrV (New International Reader's Version).
Skills learned:
  • letter formation
  • letter placement
  • linking letters
  • word spacing
