Beginner Level
In this class, we will learn the basics of writing lowercase cursive letters. Each week consists of 2-3 videos, each video has instruction of 2-3 new letters. In my videos, I begin instruction by modeling the formation of the letter using a whiteboard and marker. I encourage students to use those as well. I then move into writing those same letters on paper. Once we have learned enough letters, we will follow learning letters with writing words. Letters are learned in groups that share similar stroke techniques. I encourage students to send me pictures of their work. I also encourage students to contact me if they are struggling in any way so that I can offer encouragement and any tips to mastery.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to write lowercase letters, and words, phrases and sentences using lowercase letters, in cursive.
