Getting Ready: Handwriting and Early Reading Workbook (Kindergarten Program)

Because research shows that copywork is a wonderful way to help students learn to read quickly and easily, the Happy Cheetah Reading System starts with handwriting, then moves to phonics, where students learn the connection between sounds and the written letters.

The Getting Ready workbook introduces your students to printing by hand. It uses a developmentally appropriate sequence for both capital and lowercase letters, so all beginning writers learn in the most efficient and easy way possible. It also uses a unique font designed to address common handwriting problems such as letter reversals.

After learning to print all the individual letters, students move into beginning copywork. Next they start to work on hearing individual sounds in words (also called phonemic awareness), and finally practice writing numerals.
