Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Grade 3: Student & Teacher Editions (Homeschool Bundle -- 2016 Edition)

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 cursive alphabet that is made up of four basic strokes: the undercurve, downcurve, overcurve, and slant. This kit includes the student edition, practice masters, and teacher's edition.

The third grade cursive workbook focuses on a review of manuscript writing and the transition to cursive. Colorful and engaging exercises include how to read cursive; tracing and writing individual letters, words, sentences, and numbers; and original writing exercises. Review and application exercises are included throughout. Students will think about shape, size, spacing and slant as the keys to legibility.

Directional features include:

Letter models with arrows to show stroke sequence Green starting dots that show students where initial strokes begin on beginning models 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)

The easy-to-use teacher's edition features three-step lessons that follow a simple instructional plan of model, practice, and evaluate. This guide includes:

Clearly stated objectives that guide instruction. Short, clear stroke descriptions that use academic language and give teachers the exact words to use when modeling. Instructions to model using skywriting with large muscle movements that reinforce the motor patterns for forming strokes and letters. References to Practice Masters (not included) that allow the teacher to match additional practice to students' needs. Multiple opportunities to differentiate instruction including ELL, gross & fine motor development activities, and multisensory activities for kinesthetic, auditory, and visual learners.
