This seems like a good program for practicing letters. I got Grade 1 for both my children, even though they are two years apart. I feel that my older child, a son, needs the extra practice before moving on to cursive. Both children enjoy the program. We put on some classical music while they practice. The lessons are very short; I like the brevity because I want them to go slowly and make the letters really well-formed. My children like the brevity because they are typical children!!

SUPER for our son! He LOVES Rockets and so really seems ready to keep his letters in 'rocket' form a bit more.
