Handwriting Schedules
Overview
A Reason for Handwriting is a complete handwriting curriculum with daily practice focused on verses from Scripture, as presented in the Living Bible paraphrase.
By providing students with fancy border sheets on which to do their work (border sheets suitable for display) the authors of A Reason for Handwriting seek to motivate students subconsciously to think of the public nature of their work and, therefore, to improve their handwriting.
A Reason for Handwriting follows the traditional, "ball-and-stick" style of print, and a standard cursive hand.
Teaches students how to write manuscript forms--both upper- and lower-case--of all 26 letters in the English alphabet.
