I bought this book and its follow-up as I needed to improve a number of students' joined-up handwriting in a short space of time and I thought these books would help. However, they are VERY basic - dealing with very simple letter formation and joining only a few letters together at a time for the most part. They would be useful for joining practice if prompted by the child, but were no good for the Year 6 children I was working with. They wanted something far more interesting. Also I think the books are over-priced. I managed to find much more useful resources free on the internet.
