All I wanted was a simple workbook so my 9-year-old daughter could practice her cursive handwriting. Happily, this workbook fit the bill!I actually read through quite a few reviews of other workbooks before making this purchase, and I'm glad I did. Mostly, people had very specific complaints about other workbooks, and I'm happy to confirm that those concerns do not apply here.This book is a full-sized 8.5" x 11" workbook. It is not miniature-sized in any way.Sample letters - capital and lowercase - do have arrows to show the direction in which to write each letter. The tail of the arrow indicates the starting point. There is only one arrow for each pen stroke, so the person learning to write cursive does need to understand the concept of re-tracing lines, as required when writing, say, capital N and capital M. If a letter requires more than one pen stroke - like capital K - there is an arrow for each separate stroke, plus a small number that indicates the stroke order.Pages are perforated, so they can be cleanly torn out and used as worksheets.The bulk of the book consists of one practice page per letter. Each page includes the letter written in upper and lowercase cursive, a funny little picture of something starting with that letter, and two sample words describing the picture. So, for example, the N page shows a picture of a necktie, and the words "nifty necktie" are written in cursive beside it. There are guidelines for practicing - solid lines along the top and bottom of each capital letter, and dashed lines in the middle to show the height of lowercase letters. Each page has 8 practice lines, including 6 traceable capital letters (pre-printed in light grey), and 6 traceable lowercase letters.
