Cursive Logic
An intelligent new way to teach, learn, or re-learn cursive. This combined teacher's manual and student workbook contains step-by-step instructions for teaching/learning cursive the CursiveLogic way along with lessons, practice sheets, and three dry-erase surfaces. The lessons can be adapted to suit the needs of students from 7 years old through adult. Great for teachers/parents, or as a self-paced study! And yes, the practice sheets are fountain pen-friendly.

CursiveLogic is different from other handwriting methods because, instead of relying on rote memorization, CursiveLogic relies on the inherent structure of the cursive alphabet. The CursiveLogic instruction method contains two key features:
CURSIVE LETTERS GROUPED BY SHAPE
Four foundational shapes underlie the entire lowercase alphabet. Rather than teaching the letters alphabetically, CursiveLogic organizes the lowercase alphabet into four groups based on the shape of the initial stroke of the letters and teaches all of the similarly-shaped letters in a single lesson. Letters are also taught in a specific order that reinforces the pattern. By teaching all of the similar letters together, CursiveLogic captures the natural synergy of the alphabet itself, allowing each letter in the series to reinforce the proper formation of all the others.
CURSIVE LETTER STRINGS
CursiveLogic captures the flow of cursive by teaching all of the similarly shaped letters in a connected string rather than as individual letters. CursiveLogic’s letter strings teach students to connect letters from the first lesson, allowing students to internalize the flow of cursive handwriting even before they have learned all 26 letters.
CursiveLogic also uses visual and auditory cues to reinforce the shape patterns:
Theme colors — Each shape string has a color that reinforces the formation of the basic common shape.
Verbal task analysis — Students learn a simple, rhythmical chant that describes the path of the writing instrument as the letter shapes are formed. The process of verbally describing a motor task while performing it aids the acquisition of new motor skills.
CursiveLogic is fun! Students young and old love tracing and writing our shape strings. CursiveLogic is the only handwriting curriculum that has an “element of fun” that comes from the alphabet itself. No cartoon characters, songs, or gimmicks needed!

I realized some time ago that after over 20 years of not writing cursive that I'd completely forgotten how. I decided to get this workbook to try to learn it again, especially since I've recently gotten into fountain pens and my chicken scratch print just didn't seem to be doing the hobby justice. I'm amazed that in 5 hours total over the course of 4 evenings I made it through the entire book and not only am I able to write cursive again, with only a few hiccups, but the pattern tracing that the book has you do improved the quality of my writing immensely! I'm a typical boy with terrible handwriting, but after using this book and with only a week since starting it, I'm extremely impressed by the quality of the writing I'm able to produce now.
I haven't practiced cursive since grammar school. This really helps an old guy like me get back into the game.
I bought this for my granddaughter. She is 11 years old and fell into a gap in school where she wasn't taught cursive. Lately she has developed a love of fountain pens. She decided she wanted to learn cursive to write with a fountain pen. She has nothing but praises for Cursive Logic. Thanks Goulet Pens for carrying this workbook! She really enjoys practicing with this workbook!
Love this writing manual and others that I purchased, including the fountain Pen Cleaning kit. Even though I have not gotten to use them due to my mom being in the hospital, I look so forward to using them very soon. You guys are so awesome and I look forward to many more purchases from you all in the future. Thank You. Michelle DeVore
i have not yet actually used this booklet, inasmuch as my grandson is only a few months old. It is, however, very well organized and the method appears very sound. I think he will have no problem learning cursive handwriting when he is old enough. (I firmly believe that all gentlemen should have good handwriting: it is a mark of civility and a proper education ... there - brand me an elitist if you like ... :)
