In Modern Cursive Handwriting Shakespeare Sonnets you’ll improve your cursive by tracing and copying ten of William Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. Each of these celebrated poems is composed of 14 lines – a perfect length for full-page handwriting practice.
We learn penmanship not simply to produce individual letters, but to write whole sentences and full pages of words. Thus, there’s no better way to practice and master cursive handwriting than by tracing and copying passages from books and other written works.
Tracing cursive is an excellent way to establish good writing habits and develop a consistent, elegant style you can be proud of. Tracing builds muscle memory in your hand and arm, improving your penmanship more quickly than freehand practice alone. (Plus, it’s relaxing and fun!) ✓ A fun way to learn ✓ Perfect for ages 13+ ✓ Cursive alphabet review pages ✓ Bonus! Free printable practice sheets and templates. You will find the download link inside the book! Each cursive practice page can be traced many times, then written freehand on the blank guidelines. Write directly on the book pages or use tracing paper for your practice.
