A Reason for Handwriting provides a fun, meaningful approach to developing effective handwriting skills. Each lesson is built around a Scripture verse chosen not only for proper letter combinations, but also inspirational content. “Border Sheets” included at the back provide a nice way to showcase their newfound writing skills, and serve as a fun coloring opportunity. At the end of each week, children copy their “Verse of the Week” on a perforated border sheet of their choosing, using their creativity to color and decorate their very best handwriting.
This Level B book features instruction on the manuscript handwriting through practice writing letters, groups of letters, and Scripture. Correct alignment, slant, size, shape and spacing are emphasized. Practice sheets provide room to trace letters before writing them individually. Scripture verses are taken from The Living Bible. 142 non-reproducible pages, softcover.
