About the book
80 TRUE SOCCER STORIES. A NEW REASON TO PRACTICE CURSIVE.
A referee who gave himself a red card. A goalkeeper who stopped a shot with his heels, in midair. A dog that tracked down a stolen trophy.
These are just three of the 80 true soccer stories inside this cursive handwriting workbook for kids ages 8-12.
Read it. Trace it. Write it. Each story turns handwriting practice into a chance to discover something surprising about the game, and to find a new story to tell at dinner.
FROM FIRST LETTERS TO SOCCER STORIES
The workbook starts with individual letters, moves on to connecting them and writing soccer words, then brings those skills together in sentences about remarkable moments in soccer.
