Trace-A-Story

Practice cursive handwriting in a new way

The Trace-A-Story series publishes classic stories in traceable cursive and manuscript handwriting. This gives children extra practice in a more challenging setting and gives them a reason to complete the practice book. Every story is broken up into sections so that it's not too intimidating. One section per day is ideal, but since every person learns at different speeds, more or less can be done per day.

Story Summary: Times were hard and there wasn't enough food to feed Hansel, Gretel, their father and their step-mother. So the step-mother devised a plan to get rid of the children by taking them deep into the woods and leaving them there. Hansel and Gretel couldn't find their way home but they did find a house made of sugary sweets and the little old lady who lived in it welcomed them into her home. But the little old lady is actually a witch who likes to eat children and the sweet house was a trap for them. Will Hansel and Gretel escape and live happily ever after? Or will they become the witch's feast?
