“Sailing through Handwriting” Series
Equip your classroom with a turnkey solution that aligns perfectly with curriculum standards, saves you planning time, and makes cursive practice engaging for every learner.
Curriculum now requires daily cursive instruction—but finding cohesive, standards-aligned materials is time-consuming. Young students struggle with letter formation, spacing, and continuity—so lessons often become worksheet schleps rather than skill builders. You need built-in assessment tools to track progress, show evidence of student growth, and meet reporting requirements.
Our Nautical Solution
By weaving a sailing analogy through each page, this workbook transforms cursive into a multisensory voyage—giving students purpose behind every stroke and freeing you from reinventing the wheel.
Before You Set Sail…
Just like preparing for a voyage, children learn to gather their equipment and read their map before they write:
1.Equipment Sailboat: sails and water → Paper, pencils, and workspace
2. Map Reading - Charting a course by tracing letters in proper spacing and lines
3. Maneuver Practice - Guiding the boat through waves → Practicing each letter
