Ask yourself: What letters were more difficult? What letters did they forget entirely? Which letters took longer for them to trace? Practice the difficult letters again using individual pages. Within 30 days you’ve made the start to teach your child cursive! It only has to be five-ten minutes a day. Continue assessing your child’s mastery with the Uppercase Cursive Alphabet Learning Page and the Lowercase Cursive Alphabet.

Consistency and regular practice is all you need to provide for your kids to learn a new skill. Cursive seems like an outdated skill, but it is actually a fine motor activity that challenges our brains in a different way then writing in print. It has been studied by neuroscientists who consider it a very worthwhile activity for young brains for a number of reasons! Even Psychologists chip in saying it’s beneficial!
