This workbook, Print Wacky Sentences, is designed to inspire interest in print handwriting. This workbook focuses on writing complete sentences in print. Kids enjoy printing wacky sentences like, "Two rabbits slept on a fox's head," and, "Six elephants jumped over a giraffe." Exercises like these help to make learning fun, even at home.Three sections of this workbook help students develop their print handwriting skills at a variety of levels: Part 1 is for beginning writers who have practiced individual letter and words, and who are ready to move onto complete sentences. Students practice handwriting motions by tracing dotted sentences.Part 2 advances to help students begin to write on their own. In this section, students first trace a dotted sentence and then copy the sentence onto a new line. The three traditional horizontal lines are included as a guide - solid top and bottom lines plus a dashed middle line help students master the relative heights of the letters, and to write across the page in straight lines.Part 3 gives solid sentences instead of dotted sentences. At this stage, students practice their handwriting without first tracing the letters.Beginners may wish to start out with a more basic book that offers practice with individual letters before advancing to complete sentences, such as the Print Uppercase and Lowercase Letters, Words, and Silly Phrases.May your students or children improve their handwriting skills and enjoy reading and writing these wacky sentences.

In our original attempt to reach both older and younger students, a few parents suggested changing some phrases such as "don't bug me" and "pouty lips." The updated edition has replaced dozens of phrases (identified by concerned parents), making the book even more positive and suitable for both younger and older girls. Following are several examples of the highly positive nature of this workbook: Team spirit.World peace.Give a compliment.Love the little things.Save the earth - recycle.Always believe in yourself.Everyone is good at something.
