I'll flip through "Cursive Kickoff" and "Cursive Handwriting", the first two cursive books of Handwriting Without Tears. We used the blue Cursive Kickoff with my 2nd and 3rd grade kids this year, and they'll roll into the red Cursive Handwriting book next year.
A few things to note: The 1st 30 pages of book 1 are print review, and then cursive begins. So you are not paying for a FULL cursive book. However, each letter gets more practice, and on larger lines than book 2.
Book 2 has a similar pattern to most the pages, with practice writing a letter and then cursive copywork for both words and sentences. Book 2 begins with smaller lines and does not have any print...it's all cursive practice.
We don't own the teacher's manual, and this has been an almost 100% independent workbook for my two kids.
They are now able to read cursive at a basic level because they know what the letters look like and how they connect.
