What children learn in Level 9
- Cursive capitals are fancy, and some look very different from print. Look at these.
- Names and the first word of a sentence start with a capital. In cursive, the capital often joins the next letter.
- When you read a cursive note, read one word at a time, and use what makes sense to help you.
- Did you read it? Dear Kai, see you at the game! From, Omar.
- With a grown-up: copy a short sentence in cursive on paper, like I like to read. Leave a space as wide as the letter o between words.
