Screenwise Verdict

This is exactly what it says on the tin: a grind. It’s not 'fun' in the way a game or a novel is, but the payoff of being able to write a thank-you note that people can actually read is worth the boredom. It’s a low-cost, high-reward way to reclaim a bit of analog competence.

If you have a middle-schooler or teen who missed the cursive boat in elementary school, this is a much better 'fix' than the primary-colored workbooks meant for six-year-olds. It treats the reader like an adult, which usually means they'll actually stick with it.

Age Fit

While labeled for adults, this is perfect for any teenager (12+) whose print looks like a ransom note and who wants to develop a signature that doesn't look like a scribble.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

It is a quiet, meditative, and productive activity that encourages slow focus and personal improvement.

Imaginative

The book is strictly about tracing and copying existing forms; it doesn't leave much room for creative exploration until you've mastered the basics.

Safe

100

It's a penmanship workbook. No surprises, no toxicity, just letters and sentences.

Enriching

Excellent for fine motor skill development and reclaiming a physical skill that is rapidly disappearing in the digital age.

Why It Might Be Great

Builds muscle memory through structured repetition that actually sticks.
Offers a genuine digital detox—it's just you, a pen, and the paper.
Focuses on legibility for adults, meaning the practice sentences aren't about 'The cat sat on the mat.'
Great for fine motor control, which tends to atrophy when we spend all day typing or swiping.

⚠

What to Watch For

It is a workbook, not a textbook. If you aren't prepared to do the 'homework' of repetitive tracing, it'll just sit on the shelf.
The aesthetic is strictly utilitarian; don't expect high-end calligraphy or artistic flourishes here.

Conversation Starters

"Why do you think schools stopped making cursive a priority?"
"Does a person's handwriting tell you anything about their personality, or is that just a myth?"
"When was the last time you wrote a full page of text by hand?"
"How does it feel to slow down and focus on a physical movement instead of a screen?"
