Teaching my daughter proper handwriting has always been one of the more difficult challenges for us. I have tried different methods with her so was very excited to try CursiveLogic Quick-Start Pack and The Art of Cursive from CursiveLogic. My daughter's difficulties with handwriting My daughter loves to write stories and lyrics to songs, but the actual handwriting part is not her favourite.

Grade 1 Spelling Workbook
Are you searching for spelling curriculum for homeschooling? I was too, until I finally decided to create something that would work for us - a Grade 1 Spelling Workbook!

The Day The Crayons Quit Educational Book Activity For Kids

My goal is for my daughter to have learned these well enough that she knows the answer without any sort of counting or ...
