Getting Started is the only program in the WRITE RIGHT! Learning Cursive series where students do not actually write. In this program, students actively participate using a blank piece of paper and a pencil; students listen and adjust their paper, slanting it correctly and holding their pencil correctly. Students interact with the video, responding to suggestions to get started writing cursive: sitting up straight with two feet flat on the floor, slanting their paper, holding their pencil with a "V" as demonstrated and so on. This program is intended to motivate students to learn cursive and to introduce them to the song that steps them through the concepts above.
