This is good, straight forward, traditional, get-it-done, unfussy, black & white handwriting workbook with a lot of practice! It uses dotted lines to trace, arrows to direct your stroked and a big dot to show you where to begin your letter. All of these features make for self directed student practice. Learn upper and lower case letters individually, then work up to words. This has wider lines, but all the same features mentioned above. You are not doing the challenge activities at the end, instead, you write the seasons, animals and food words.
