My daughter is left handed and her handwriting has always been scrutinized since preschool. This year we are homeschooling and another veteran homeschool mom encouraged me to start cursive with her because her printing is never going to look perfect. Between the angle that lefties need to hold the book and how many letter they are doing blind because their hand overs what they are writing, I didn’t want to put pressure on her to be perfect. This book has saved us! The top binding is perfections and the glide of the pens makes it easy for her to feel the grooved letters. She pulls her books out without being asked!
