This colorful workbook has a portrait orientation with double-sided, perforated worksheets. Lines are 5/16" but without the familiar “handwriting" house icon. Course emphasis is a combination of proper letter formation, size, spacing, and slant. Pages have a weekly pattern of handwriting practice that includes letter stroke warm-ups, reviews, tracing, writing, and copying. Letters, letter combinations, words, and sentences reinforce the phonics instruction. Poems, Bible verses, lists, riddles, paragraphs, and journal entries are used as copywork. About a third of the way through the 275-page book, there is a transition to creative writing and prompts are added. Assignments alternate between copywork and assigned paragraphs with prompts. The last section includes 31 tests that feature a copywork piece and a section for the teacher/parent to list things to practice. Before that is a “My Journal" section (blank pages with 5/16" lines) and eight pages with lines on one side and “cover" artwork on the other. These can be folded into little booklets featuring the child's original composition.
Abeka Writing with Phonics 2 (5th Edition) (Bound)
Description
In this cursive writing book, your child reinforces his phonics skills while practicing and improving his writing skills. In this book formation, size, spacing, and slant are emphasized for the best writing mastery. The first 30 pages of the book will give your child writing practices on marked lines. The book will then transition into unmarked lines which will further develop his writing skill. The practices on writing sentences and paragraphs will prepare your child for their own journal and creative writing pages.
Handwriting instruction is found in the Writing with Phonics 2 workbook and is correlated with language arts instruction. The 2nd Grade Writing Tablet provides additional practice. The Language Arts 2 Homeschool Curriculum (009890) includes writing lessons that reference the cursive materials.
