Zaner-Bloser Handwriting is a complete handwriting program that can be taught in as little as 15 minutes a day! The Zaner-Bloser style teaches a vertical manuscript alphabet that is made up of only four simple strokes and is similar to the letter forms most widely used in everyday print.

The fourth grade cursive student workbook provides cursive reinforcement. Engaging exercises include tracing and writing letters, joinings, words, sentences, and paragraphs with review and application exercises included throughout. Students will think about shape, size, spacing and slant as the keys to legibility. The last unit is "using what you have learned" and focuses on real-life applications of cursive handwriting in situations like writing an invitation, writing a friendly letter, taking notes, and more. Original writing exercises help apply handwriting skills to narrative, explanatory, and opinion-based writing tasks. This student workbook includes "Handwriting Tutor" QR codes; students can scan the QR codes with a mobile device to watch animated letter models and how-to videos.

Directional features include:

• Letter models with arrows to show stroke sequence 
• Green starting dots that show students where initial strokes begin 
• Stroke descriptions to guide letter formation at home 
• Stop-and-check signs to remind students to self-evaluate their letters 
• Space to practice writing directly beneath models (that both left-and right-handed students can easily see)

   

  • Student Edition, 112 pages, indexed, softcover. Non-reproducible; consumable workbook. 9" x 11". Grade 4.

     This 2020 edition features updates to the basic strokes plus a new "reading historical documents" feature in the student workbook; QR codes have been added to the practice masters.
