Cursive Handwriting Practice - Life Skills - Writing - Special Education Unit 2

One of the most requested lessons from my students is how to read and write in cursive. Considered by many to be a disappearing art, cursive is all around us in the real world and an incredibly important life skill for students to master. Whether they want to sign their name at the end of a form or read some notes left behind by a coworker, cursive is often one of the most overlooked real world skills in the classroom.

This is the second unit to follow up with my First Cursive Writing Unit. The amount of joy students feel when they can read and write in cursive is incredible. It helps them identify more as being an adult, and eases their transition into leading an independent life after high school more successfully. Scaffold their understanding and mastery of cursive with this easy to use, print and go packet!

How I Use This In My Classroom:

I pass this lesson out after students complete Unit One. I laminate these worksheets and have students work in small groups using vis a vis markers to practice writing cursive at their own pace. Students move onto the next section after they are able to independently master each page on their own.

Purchase Includes:

- 26 pages for each letter to practice writing cursive words (5 per page)

- 23 sentences that students practice tracing and writing

- 11 sentences in various cursive fonts so students can practice reading them
