The Letter Bridge Step One: Mouse Messages

Every beautiful handwriting journey has a first step, and this is ours. Meet Mouse Messages, the very first practice workbook in The Letter Bridge series and the perfect place to begin.

Where the Journey Begins

Designed to follow The Print Pathway, Mouse Messages is Step One in The Letter Bridge series, a collection created to bridge the gap between print and cursive handwriting. Through meaningful writing activities and real-world communication, students strengthen the print handwriting skills they have already learned while preparing for the next stage of the Simply Lettered Journey.

What I love most about this workbook is that it does not rely on repetitive drills. Instead, children apply their handwriting skills through engaging activities that build confidence, strengthen fine motor skills, and encourage authentic communication. Every lesson helps transform handwriting practice into a meaningful experience.

Meet Millie Mouse

Guiding students along the way is our sweet friend Millie Mouse, who introduces young writers to the wonderful world of handwritten messages. As children work through the pages, they practice neat letter formation, spacing, sizing, and penmanship while learning how to write real notes, address envelopes, and send thoughtful letters to friends and family. It is handwriting with a purpose, and it makes all the difference.

What's Inside

Mouse Messages is a generous 139-page workbook filled with everything young writers need to build strong print habits:

  • Print handwriting review

  • A front and back pull-out daily lesson

  • Capital and lowercase practice

  • Envelope addressing for real-world application

  • Pull-out stationery and postcards

Those pull-out stationery pages and postcards are one of my favorite touches. Children are not just forming letters on a worksheet, they are writing notes they can actually send to the people they love.

Perfect For

Mouse Messages is a wonderful fit for:

  • Homeschool families

  • Classrooms and co-ops

  • Independent learners

  • Students reviewing print handwriting

  • Learners preparing for cursive

  • Families who love meaningful, screen-free learning

Start the Journey

As the first step in The Letter Bridge series, Mouse Messages provides a fun and engaging print handwriting workbook that reinforces foundational penmanship while preparing students for the transition to cursive in the next books of the series.
