EXCELLENT - Do your kids need extra practice with cursive writing? Give them their very own Cursive Writing & Drawing Tablet. Traceable letters, words, and sentences will help kids master this lovely, swirly-curly writing on their own. Directions instruct kids to "Trace and write the sentence. Draw a picture to match the sentence." Once they catch on, the first part changes to "Write a sentence in cursive." The tablet also includes some playful, traceable scenes for coloring, and leaves room for drawing on most of the other pages. Although children learn keyboarding skills early these days, cursive is alive and well—some states even mandate instruction in it. Research suggests that handwriting continues to help with expressing ideas and boosting fine motor skills. This tablet features 7/8" ruled paper for accurate letter placement, writing and drawing activities, tear-away sheets, and a page of colorful reward sticker stickers. It also lies flat for ease of use and has a thick sheet of cardboard insert inside the back cover that makes it possible to use the tablet while holding it in one's lap. Great for traveling!
WORKBOOKS - Writing in workbook pages, as opposed to typing on a computer, can help kids to focus and to learn. Writing by hand fires up specific areas of a child's brain, improving a child's ability to not only remember what he or she learns but to think of new ideas. When kids finish the workbook, fill out the completion certificate to reward a job well done. Hang it on the wall or fridge to display their achievement with pride.
RESULTS - Our learning materials have helped educate three generations of kids, creating lifelong learners, and the legacy continues. Digital content, flash cards, workbooks, readers, toys, and games—all are crafted through a child's eyes while integrating parent and teacher standards.

School Zone Publishing: Nourishing Young Minds
OUR STORY: Almost 40 years ago, long-time educators James Hoffman, Ed.D., and his wife Joan Hoffman, M.A., began a retail supply outlet for teachers, then soon identified a need for at-home learning materials to help parents support and supplement their children's classroom instruction. School Zone Publishing fast emerged as the market leader in workbooks and flashcards for preschoolers through sixth graders.
School Zone remains family-owned, focused on excellence, responsive to customers, alert to emerging technology, and committed to the community. We continually update our products with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices. As just one example, we update our workbook curriculum on an as-needed basis to address changing standards such as those presented by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and Common Core.
