SAMI AND JULIE WRITING WORKBOOK AGES 6-8

Master cursive writing and keep your notebook neat with Sami and Julie! Specially designed for children aged 6 to 8 (first and second grade), this workbook offers rigorous, progressive practice to support formal writing instruction. At this age, the challenge is no longer just to draw the letters, but to develop a fluid, consistent, and fast writing style. With Sami and Julie, your child will enjoy practicing and turn writing into a natural, automatic skill.

The book is very carefully structured and adapts to your child's progress: it begins with a review of lowercase cursive letters (joined-up letters), using arrow guides to ensure they are formed in the correct direction. It then covers difficult letter connections, writing full words, and then entire sentences. Finally, it provides guided practice with uppercase cursive letters, which can often be difficult to master. With its perfectly proportioned Seyès writing lines (large squares) and humorous illustrations, this workbook helps your child develop good posture, keep their school notebooks neat, and take pride in their beautiful handwriting!
