Getting Ready: Handwriting and Early Reading Workbook

Because the research proves that copy work is integral to helping students learn to read quickly and easily, that is where the Happy Cheetah Reading System starts. It then moves to phonics from handwriting, where students learn the connection between sounds and written letters.

The Getting Ready workbook introduces your students to printing.

It uses a developmentally-appropriate sequence for capital and lowercase letters, so all beginning writers learn efficiently and quickly.

Getting Ready also uses a unique font. Dr. Karen developed this font to address handwriting issues that she regularly sees in her clinical practice. You can prevent letter reversals from the very beginning!

After learning to print all the individual letters, students move into beginning copy work. Next, they start to work on hearing individual sounds in words (also called phonemic awareness) and finally practice writing numerals.
