@@taylorgreene5308 nope, the student book was just enough! Maybe for the younger graders it would have been helpful. I am going to try out the kindergarten level
Thank you for your note on 2C! My youngest will be in 3rd next year and is excited to start learning cursive, but I didn't want it to be overly frustrating for her. My oldest did Handwriting without Tears books 3&4. While he did well with them, he still cannot read cursive. We took this year off to focus on manuscript because he really needed to take a step back. I think this program is just what he needs when we go back to cursive practice next year!
I agree! My fourth grader did level 3 of the Good and the Beautiful handwriting last year. We switched to Zaner Bloser this year as well. I realized their level 4 was too difficult for her and I put her in level 3. It has been the perfect fit!
They make a 2C you might want to look at I bought the 2C and the 3 level. At first, I was mad thinking they were the same when I got them. When i sat down and compared them the 2C is what you mentioned in the one from TGTB level 3 where it is like the Introduction with half print and then beginning in cursive. My 3rd-grade daughter is doing the 2C this year and towards the spring will start into the level 3. I think this program you have to do the 2C in order to be ready for the 3. In 2C it has them learn the cursive alphabet and all those pre-cursive steps. If you'd like some sample pages I will happily take some pictures! They dont show anything that I found online whats inside the book!
Exactly what I needed to know! We've been working through Level 3 TGATB and I recently bought Level 3 ZBH, because I figure we're going to fly through TGATB. It's just way too easy/simplified. I'm glad you've been through a similar experience.
I have used the Zaner-Bloser method for teaching cursive for almost three decades as a public school educator and now as a private tutor. It is highly effective and will have a major impact on every aspect of student literacy development, especially when coupled with the Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections.
I’m wondering your opinion on starting with TGTB cursive in second and then moving to ZB in third? My daughters print has not been perfected (I do think she will so much better with the strokes in cursive).
Personally, I would stick with ZB from the ground up for my handwriting. Their spelling program is designed to use the same letter forms (strokes). Google "Don Potter Shortcut to Cursive for training."
I highly recommend Logic of English Rhythm of Handwriting for learning how to write in cursive. And then moving on to a workbook to perfect it. ROH has videos and cards to learn the how to.

I forgot to mention I only use the student workbooks- I did not get the additional teacher guides and I purchased them from Rainbow Resources :D
Did you ever wish that you had purchased any of the companions?

It’s bc it’s building a better foundation for handwriting
It's so unfortunate that I paid for the teacher's guide, it turned out to be unnecessary. You live and learn, I guess.
You can try to resell it!
