Learning to Read Cursive
Introduction:
As teachers across the nation are expanding their lessons to meet common
core standards, they are finding the time to teach everything dwindling. One
important subject that is being overlooked is cursive writing. While students no
longer need to be able to write in cursive (due to everything being typed), it is
highly important that they can read cursive. This short tutorial provides
visualization of print letters and cursive letters.

a. Target Learners
Third or fourth grade students
b. Purpose and Objectives
1. Students will be able to identify all lowercase letters in print
and cursive.
2. Students will be able to identify all uppercase letters in print
and cursive.
3. Students will be able to read basic sentences written in cursive
and match the sentences in print.

Normal running of the program
a. Program length
The length of the program is dependent on how quickly a student learns
the letters. This tutorial is meant to be used often throughout the school
year to master recognition of all uppercase and lowercase cursive letters.
b. General operation
Students will begin on the main page and navigate to
introduction/formation, lowercase letters, and uppercase letters. All of the
buttons are accessible throughout the tutorial so students may go back and
review different areas. This guide will lead as if this is a first time user.

Students will go to the introduction. Here they will learn size, shape, space,
and slant. Each button will take them to a new page which has a back
button to bring them back to the introduction page.


Following the introduction, students are ready to learn the lowercase
cursive letters. These letters are divided into three sections undercurve,
downcurve and overcurve. All 25 letters are represented in these three
groups. Students can go to whichever group they choose. The back button
will lead them back to this lowercase page.

Next, students will learn the uppercase letters. These letters are divided
into four categories; downcurve, curve forward, overcurve/doublecurve,
and undercurve loop/slant. Each page also contains a back button to return
them to the uppercase page.


c. Evaluation
At the end of the tutorial, students will take a short quiz to see what cursive
letters they have mastered. It is recommended to have the students
complete this tutorial multiple times throughout the year to master reading
cursive letters.

Supplementary information
The ideas for this project were taken from our third grade handwriting
book published by Zaner Bloser.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulties with the webpage, you may need to update your
