The model letter sits on the right, so it stays in view for the whole row.

Watch a left-handed child write and you will see the problem in about four seconds. They copy a letter, their hand slides over it, and the example they were copying disappears underneath their own knuckles.
Every handwriting book puts the model letter on the left. For a right-hander that is perfect. For the one child in ten who writes with their left hand, it means the example is gone before the row is half finished. This workbook puts the model on the right. Their hand travels away from it, so it stays in view for the whole row. That single change is the reason this book exists.
It starts with a set-up page: how far to tilt the paper, where the wrist sits, and why the hook starts with a page that was never turned. Then warm-up strokes, lines, zig-zags, waves and loops, before any letters.
Every capital, every lowercase letter and every number, one per page, in the gentle trace-and-fade progression: dark letters, then lighter, then start dots only, then a clear line to write on alone. Three-zone guides with a topline, dashed midline, firm baseline and a shaded basement for the tails of g, j, p, q and y. Spacing dots between every letter slot, because spacing is the first thing to go.
Word and sentence pages follow, then free practice lines. 108 pages, large print, one skill per page, nothing cluttered. Ten relaxed minutes a day is plenty. Circle the best letter in every row: progress, not perfection.
