Publisher's Description of Reason for Handwriting Manuscript /Cursive Wall Sheets
This set of sturdy 8.5" x 11" A Reason For Handwriting Alphabet Wall Sheets features one letter in both upper and lower case on each sheet. Manuscript on one side, cursive on the other, with directional arrows to illustrate proper letter formation. A corresponding image for each letter provides visual reinforcement.
Category Description for A Reason for Handwriting
An appealing, full-color Christian handwriting program that provides instruction and practice in handwriting (traditional style) with about 30 lessons per level (except for K which has 49). Each level has a letter designation, with a whole book for transition from manuscript to cursive in between B and C. The newly updated 2023 Transition book (Level T) is designed to replace either Level B (preferred) or Level C (a later transition for students needing extra manuscript practice) facilitating a mid-year transition from manuscript to cursive. Starting in Book C, all handwriting is cursive. In the more advanced levels, discussion questions accompany the weekly Bible verse. One more issue to note is the height of the lines; they are smaller in the cursive section of the Transition Book or Book C (3/8") than in the previous books (manuscript books have 5/8" lines). Each student workbook (except K level) contains a large back section of border sheets (nicely lined and bordered papers…one per lesson) as a weekly challenge for students to write their scripture verses on them "in their best handwriting." (Scripture verses are taken from the Living Bible.) The student desk card shows manuscript and cursive letters on a personal-sized card, or you can put the big letters up on the wall using the alphabet wall sheets. One comprehensive teacher's guide covers the whole series. Please note that sets are also available, which include the student book and teacher guide at a discount.

We used this program for the first time last yearmy daughter's 1st grade year I LOVED that God and His Word were integrated into a handwriting assignment What made it even better is that there was virtually no prep necessary My daughter even looked forward to doing her handwriting I prefer the style of writing (compared to italic) taught in this curriculum and appreciate the small steps it takes to make the transition to cursive easier (writing a lowercase a b d etc in one step) We also purchased the A Reason For Handwriting Manu/Cursive Wall Sheets and put them in plastic sheet protectors in a "handwriting binder" so my daughter could flip through and remember what to do when she got stuck on a letter We purchased the Student Desk Card to have something similar to the wall sheets in a portable/travel size Every week my daughter would look forward to finishing her week by picking out a "special page" out of the Reason for Handwriting Border Book and doing her very best printing and then coloring the border picture We saved all her special pages in a report cover and it was fun to look back over the year and see her progress We will be doing A Reason For Handwriting again this year for second grade and I know we'll both be looking forward to it!
