Teaching Tips

If at first writing in cursive is too difficult for your students, try to have them draw loops to practice. They can make a picture with loops of different colors. After they are comfortable with imitating different loops, try again to have them attempt cursive writing, and show them how letters in cursive are constructed with different loops.
