Cursive curriculum help
 

Can anyone recommend a good cursive curriculum for an 8.5 y/o? I have been eyeing Handwriting without tears and Christian liberty handwriting. Possibly something that would fit in well with All about spelling that DD is currently doing. :)

I don't know about All about Spelling so it may or may not work, but my girls and I really like New American Cursive.

Thanks! I'll take a look at it now.

We used Handwriting without Tears. :)

They do HWT with my 8.5 dd's class and she loves it.

Thanks FlyingBlueKiwi and Llee! I have a few questions about it. Do you feel like the teacher's guide is easy to follow and teach? is it teacher intensive? And do I just buy the basic teacher's guide and the student cursive handwriting book or are the other stuff there necessary too?

My oldest did Zaner Bloser cursive. It didn't work nearly so well DD2, so she and DD3 are doing New American Cursive. It's a better fit for them.

We got Cursive Logic when it was a kickstarter. My newly 9yo started it in August and just finished it a couple of weeks ago. She enjoyed it.

We use HWOT, but I just bought the student workbook.

Thanks ladies, I just looked up everything everyone suggested. They all seem good, some out of my price ;) now I have it narrowed down to HWOT, New American Cursive and Teaching cursive - This method works. :think

I used the Cursive Wizard app. LOVED it. Slight learning curve when you switch from device to paper but super fun and now my girls have lovely cursive.
