Conquering Cursive Handwriting Workbooks for Your Homeschool

Okay, I have to admit that I’m not the best teacher when it comes to conquering cursive handwriting.  I buy a book here and I buy a book there, but we never seem to finish any of them. 

That’s mostly my fault because there are so many more exciting things to do in our homeschool than handwriting practice!  Then, well,  I find that I have a fourth grader who doesn’t write neatly – and now I’m really up a creek without a paddle because all the handwriting workbooks are way too young for fourth graders!

Conquering Cursive is a simple, distraction free cursive workbook for older kids that has separate left and right handed workbooks! A review from The Curriculum Choice

Imagine my excitement upon browsing booths at the CHEK Convention (Christian Home Educators of Kentucky) this summer when I found a handwriting workbook that isn’t babyish! 

Not only that, it quickly reviews letter placement and all manuscript letters before moving into cursive. 

The pages are short and sweet, the directions are clear and easy enough for my son to do the assignments on his own, and the vocabulary words used for practice are appropriate for his age level. 

Finally, I’ve found a program we can stick with!

Conquering Cursive for Homeschool

Conquering Cursive from Write-On Handwriting is a simple, yet effective handwriting curriculum that doesn’t bother with the distractions of cutesy pictures or difficult sentences to copy.  Quite plainly, its purpose it to teach your child to write correctly and neatly.  Skills include not only proper letter structure, but proper posture, holding the pencil correctly, word and letter spacing, and understanding the concept of right and left.

The coolest thing about Conquering Cursive for Your Homeschool

They have separate books for right handed and left handed kids!

Both the left and right-handed workbooks are spiral bound at the top of the page, so no bindings get in the way of writing. Words in the left-handed workbook are situated on the right side of the page so the child is able to see the copy words clearly.

Conquering Cursive is a simple, distraction free cursive workbook for older kids that has separate left and right handed workbooks! A review from The Curriculum Choice

There are 96 pages worth of lessons that will reinforce not only letter and word formation, but capitalization rules, cities, states, months, number words and much more. 

You can see more samples here.

Normally, I wouldn’t post about a product I haven’t had tons of experience with, but my son and I are both so excited about this handwriting program that I couldn’t resist!

Cindy (93 Posts)

The biggest reason Cindy chose to homeschool was because she loves experiencing life with her children and watching them grow inside and out. She's sure that’s why the Charlotte Mason method first caught her attention. It allows her to be creative in scheduling, rigorous in learning, yet opens the door for plenty of close-knit time, opportunities for her children to explore their interests and offers enough free time for them to be children. She implements many of Charlotte Mason's methods with an eclectic twist of things that work for her family! At Cindy's website, Our Journey Westward, you will find a blog packed with fun learning ideas and a shop full of creative curriculum, including the NaturExplorers studies.
