🍂 Why Puzzles Work for Cursive Introduction

Cursive can feel overwhelming when presented through traditional worksheets. Puzzles make cursive recognition playful and pressure-free. The picture support gives children context clues for decoding unfamiliar cursive letters, while the self-correcting format lets them verify their reading without adult intervention. This combination builds cursive confidence naturally.

🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Laminate puzzle pieces for repeated use across multiple children or years. Store the print and cursive versions separately to avoid confusion. When introducing cursive puzzles, work alongside your child for the first vowel family, pointing out how cursive letters connect differently than print letters. Once they understand the format, step back and let them explore independently.
