Thanks for taking us through these books. I think the cursive kickoff is going to be perfect for my 7 year old later in the year or even next year. And the cursive Handwriting is just what my 4th grader will need! I decided for my fourth grader to add building writers without tears along with cursive handwriting . Building writers should help with handwriting, punctuation and building stories. He hates to write so hopefully this will help?
O neat! I've not heard much about their building writer's program. I'd love to hear how he likes it! We've loosely used Brave Writer's Jot It Down in the littler years & Partnership writing around 3rd grade, as well as some Night Zookeeper just for fun here and there. My 4th grader really doesn't like to write much either, but he's been very willing to do daily copywork! Honestly, the #1 thing that he's willingly done as far as writing goes is to write several penpals. Maybe 1 or 2 a month. But it's been the BEST thing for him if you need something to try that's free! He'll continue learning cursive this year with HWT but I'm curious if he'll ever want to use it.
We started cursive when my 3rd grader was 9 and my 2nd grader was 7.5. My 2nd grader did do all the workbooks last year (kindergarten 1st and 2nd), while my 3rd grader did just the 1st and 2nd grade level. They didn’t start those till last year though and whizzed through the ones that were too easy. I don’t think it’s necessary to do the print if they already print well or use another handwriting curriculum. Some other curriculums even have kids learn cursive 1st, and print after that.

Thank you for pointing out all of the details of these workbooks. They were extremely helpful in choosing which one to get.
Thank you. This was very helpful to get eyes on what each book looks like inside and the major differences.
So glad!

Yay glad to hear that!
Did both of your kids do all of the print books before they started Cursive Kickoff? What age did you start cursive?
