Book Description
"Handwriting is proven to develop fine motor skills and eye-hand connection, strengthening the ability to translate ideas into words. In fact, it equips students to write and read more efficiently than reading and instruction alone. So when it comes time to assess students' yearly progress, it's not just about reading (or math, or science). It's about preparing confident communicators equipped with cross-disciplinary skills that translate directly to demonstrating proficiency on standardized tests. Zaner-Bloser Handwriting has been carefully designed to support the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards for handwriting. References to the TEKS appear throughout the Student and Teacher Editions."--Page v.

Book Description
"Tumultuous, vibrant, tragic and over too soon." --Newsday Handwriting is Michael Ondaatje's first new book of poetry since The Cinnamon Peeler. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when "handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke" and remembers a woman's "laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh." Crafted with lyrical delicacy and seductive power, Handwriting reminds us of Michael Ondaatje's stature as one of the finest poets writing today.

Why is Learning Cursive: Handwriting Practice Workbook for Teens an important addition to your teen's curriculum? According to a 2013 New York Times article, "Learning to write in cursive is shown to improve brain development in the areas of thinking, language and working memory. Cursive handwriting stimulates brain synapses and synchronicity between the left and right hemispheres, something absent from printing and typing. As a result, the physical act of writing in cursive leads to increased comprehension and participation. The College Board found that students who wrote in cursive for the essay portion of the SAT scored slightly higher than those who printed." This handwriting book is perfect for teens improving cursive penmanship. Learning Cursive: Handwriting Practice Workbook for Teens is a great resource for the homeschool classroom as well as public and private 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade classrooms.
