Students who have difficulty with cursive writing will find the alternative approach of this lesson unit especially helpful. By eliminating some of the loops found on capital letters, the activities here provide the simplification necessary to promote good handwriting. These extra loops are not necessary to letter recognition, they are simply pleasing to the eye.

To further assist students, the practice exercises featured here are highly sequential. For example, students are not expected to write words containing letters they have not first practiced individually.
