The character Mr. Meerkat is the book\u2019s guide, making learning tasks fun; step-by-step, he shows the way to draw each letter and encourages creativity.

NAC<\/em>\u2018s simplified strokes and letter forms allow first grade students to truly master beautiful cursive. We have used\u00a0NAC<\/em>\u00a0in our Highlands Latin School, with dramatic results. Every child can master cursive in the first grade, and many of our first graders write better than typical third graders. Learning cursive early ensures that students are not slowed down or frustrated in the upper grades when they are focusing on other subjects, such as grammar and composition.<\/p>\n
