Write-On Handwriting's Conquering Cursive Digital Workbook software is a student-guided computer program that brings multiple senses to the task of learning to write in cursive. Using a computer mouse, students learn the proper spatial orientation and sequential movements of letter formation, helping them to build the motor memory needed to reproduce letters via pencil. In step 1, students see and hear the formation instructions as they watch the letter written with a 'pencil'. In step 2, the letter is again written in one, fluid motion. The letter-writing pattern is reinforced in step 3 by the sequential overlay of arrows on the letter. In step 4, students use a mouse or stylus to write the letter by following the arrows in the proper sequence. Students are then challenged: as they continue to write the letter correctly, the arrows fade. Students cannot write the letters incorrectly-they are redirected with an 'Oops!' message and instructed to 'try again' or 'choose a button' to review the letter pattern. When students succeed in writing the letter correctly, they are rewarded with applause and may move on to the next letter. This step-by-step strategy for teaching handwriting complements the exercises contained in the companion Conquering Cursive Paper Workbook. Handwriting really can be fun!
