*There is ample room for students to respond to writing prompts within this consumable journal.
Cursive Copywork:
Each chapter has a cursive copywork exercise related to its theme. Each is a short, funny paragraph or poem that is fun to read and offers a quick practice in cursive writing. The handwriting practice is optional and located in the back of the book.

Students are encouraged to complete the partially started illustration pages in each chapter to compliment their writing. Often kids struggling to get their thoughts complete in the writing will enjoy this additional creative outlet.
