Great review! We use a lot of the same curriculum you do, except we use Handwriting without Tears. We have no issues with the handwriting program, but I see Zander Bloser everywhere and I’m intrigued! 😂 Do you like it? Any chance you have used HWT and could do a comparison between the two? 😊

[@EclecticHomeschoolShelf]

Thanks! I've never used HWT because the cursive font is so ugly, imo.
We really like Zaner-Bloser! I mostly chose it because I liked the look of its manuscript and cursive fonts the best. The newer editions have QR codes with videos for each letter, and the lower levels include cardstock letter construction pieces. I can film a flip-through of the K and 3rd grade levels if that would be helpful.

[@MaryBarfield]

@@EclecticHomeschoolShelf That's great to know about the QR Codes! That type of video would be super helpful if you can add it to your list of videos to film! Thank you!

Our choices are still up in the air, but I plan on using:
Logic of English - Foundations B/C
Getty Dubay Handwriting
Explode the Code book 3
Evan Moor Geography grade 2
KiwiCo science subscription boxes
Then UA-cam videos and library books to supplement geography and science.
Oh! And Math With Confidence grade 2
