DEVELOPED BY HANDWRITING EXPERTS: These pads were created in collaboration with Zaner-Bloser, a Highlights company. They have been experts in teaching handwriting to kids for more than 125 years.

DIGITAL HANDWRITING TUTOR: QR codes are included throughout the pages, which can be scanned with a mobile device to launch animated handwriting tutorials.

EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT: Learning cursive is an important skill. Fluent cursive writing leads to improved spelling and composing skills, and studies have shown that students who take handwritten notes process information better than those who type notes on a laptop. Poor handwriting can impact kids’ scores in math and other areas.

CONVENIENT, REUSABLE FORMAT: The write-and-wipe format allows activities to be completed multiple times and in different ways, thereby reinforcing the cursive-writing practice and the learning of essential early writing concepts.

FUN WITH A PURPOSE: Puzzles and activities woven throughout the write-on, wipe-off book make the format uniquely Highlights, exemplifying our approach to learning through active and satisfying engagement.

HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION: The book’s pages are laid out in landscape format to give kids plenty of space for writing. This layout also makes the pad perfect for left-handers as well as right-handers.

EXCELLENT BRAND RECOGNITION: Highlights has over 80 percent brand recognition, and the flagship magazine, Highlights, is the number one most-read children’s magazine in the United States.
