Cursive Handwriting Teacher's Guide Grade 3, Updated Edition

Handwriting without Tears aims to make legible and fluent handwriting an automatic, mastered skill. Simple for home educators to use, lessons take only 15 minutes a day and have achieving goals as the students' main objective, not finishing a set number of pages.

This 3rd grade teacher's guide provides tips and lesson plans that emphasize space, word, and sentence skills, along with the tow truck connections of o, w, b, and v. Strategies for teaching the four basic cursive connections are also included. There's plenty of information on how to prepare for lessons, stages of learning, instructional stages, a scope & sequence, posture, grip, spacing, and other helpful hints. Lessons include scripted questions, reproductions of reduced-size student pages, multisensory activities, finger trace and check models with instructions, page numbers, word lists, and more.

Now aligned to Common Core State Standards in English, Language Arts, and Math, this new edition makes it easier to integrate handwriting into your curriculum. Cross-curricular links and applied writing activities provide additional lesson ideas, and home links provide strong school-home connections. Expanded teacher guidelines also provided.
