I think that the format of the HWT paper was too confusing for my daughter who had been using traditional primary paper during the year that she was in a charter Montessori program.Deletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953289304417871977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463497.post-625858686483061222007-05-25T20:28:00.000-05:002007-05-25T20:28:00.000-05:00I think the Cursive Success book (the next one) ha...I think the Cursive Success book (the next one) has more work on capital letters.<BR/><BR/>I've been happy with HWT, too. This year I had one using Printing Power and Cursive Handwriting, one using Cursive Success, and an older (12yo) student using the relatively new Can-Do Cursive (for use after Cursive Success) this year. I especially liked this last one, and it was a good way to keep him practicing, without seeming too "young." It covers some grammar and other topics, too. My soon-to-be 11yo will use it this coming year.<BR/><BR/>I also agree about the name being a misnomer - we have had some tears in the past, but overall much less than with previous programs. I also don't use the teacher's manual, and don't really "teach" the program - my kids just follow the directions on each page. I was surprised to hear my kids say that handwriting is their favorite subject, but I think it's because it is pretty easy for them and they finish it quickly. I suppose that's good.Mamadalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02827412373104320568noreply@blogger.com
