Muggie Maggie

Cleary, B. (1991). Muggie Maggie. Harper Collins: New York.

Realistic Fiction
Chapter Book

This story centers around Maggie's refusal to learn cursive. While everyone tries to encourage her to learn, she is adamant that she will not acquire this new skill. Maggie's teacher finally gets her to learn cursive in a supportive rather than confrontational way. Maggie is a funny and likable character that will appeal to kids in grades 3-5.

I would use this book when teaching cursive to show that writing can be hard for some students. I would also talk with students about a time that they had to do something that was hard and how they overcame that obstacle. It would be both a great read aloud book as well as a good one for book groups (guided reading or literature circles).
