Continues instruction and practice in manuscript print, then moves in mid-year to cursive handwriting. Practice focuses on passages from the Gospels.
A Reason for Handwriting is a complete handwriting curriculum with daily practice focused on verses from Scripture, as presented in the Living Bible paraphrase. Students learn the traditional "ball-and-stick" style of print and a standard cursive hand.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: A Reason for Handwriting updated the Transitions Worktext in 2023. They did not update the Teacher Guidebook at the same time. Instead, they have provided the Teacher information for this book as a PDF download. This download is available on their website and will also be available in the “Downloads” section of your sonlight.com account after purchase.
