Introduction
Welcome to Cursive Writing Practice: Jokes & Riddles! In the hustle and
bustle of a hectic school day, cursive writing often gets short shrift. With
reading, writing, math, science, and social studies to learn, few students
have the time or inclination to perfect the fine art of the loop-the-loop.
What a shame! Clear cursive writing is one of the best tools available to
kids for efficient note taking and self-expression.
That’s where these lively practice pages come in! In as little as five
minutes a day, you can spur students to spruce up their cursive writing.
Just reproduce and pass out a page, then sit back and watch kids move
their pencils with levity and care. Why? Because the simple act of
rewriting an amusing joke or riddle motivates them to master the shape,
size, spacing, slant, and curve of model script.
And here’s more good news: The completed practice pages can be
quickly bound into instant joke-and-riddle books to share with family
and friends. Can you think of a cooler way to showcase a child’s carefully
crafted script? I can’t.
Read on to discover more tips for using this resource to improve
your students’ cursive writing and, in so doing, their essential
communication skills.
