Scaffolding + Extension Tips
Through this activity, students demonstrate an ability to write legibly in cursive, leaving appropriate spaces between words.
In addition to individual student work time, use these cursive handwriting worksheets as a:
- Writing center activity
- Guided writing exercise
- Fast Finisher activity
- Homework assignment
Students who need more of a challenge can write the punchlines of the jokes in cursive on the backside of the paper or blank handwriting paper.
Support struggling students by practicing writing one word in the joke three times. When they finish the first word, they go back to the top of the page and work on writing the following word three times, following this same structure until they feel confident in the fluidity of their writing.
