		Lessons for manuscript and cursive. Animated demonstrations, worksheets, practice pages. Several Spanish worksheets. Grade 1-4 students could use alone once the teacher had identified the page on the site for use. Bee Tip: when using the animated letters, move the mouse to the edge of the letter so the cursor is not covering any of the movement of the drawing.
