HWOT has a Cursive book for older students. It has other neat info in the back of the book like Grammar terms, etc. Can't remember all that was in there. I do remember it was for 5th grade and above.

My ds12 tends to get sloppy when he writes in cursive and in print. I have him write short sentences, doing his very best, and paying attention to every detail. He usually does very well. Each week I make his sentences a bit longer, expecting the same quality of work. There are sometimes where he's just being lazy in his writing, and in that case he has to re-write everything over. That usually yields very good writing! HTH!

Here's a link to a book he could use for a quick review / practice.

Zaner-Bloser Self Instruction in Handwriting (http://www.rainbowresource.com/proddtl.php?sid=1203685344-1620690&subject=&id=006849)

The book is written specifically for older dc (or adults).
