Daily Handwriting Practice - Traditional Manuscript
For example, as students learn to clearly write, “The pizza is divided into fourths,” they are reinforcing their understanding of fractions and ordinal numbers. Students write letters, words, and sentences about a variety of content-area topics appropriate for the primary classroom.
Monday through Thursday, the weekly subjects for writing exercises include nutrition, our solar system, pets, and vehicles. On Friday, a full-page exercise draws the topic to a close by reviewing what was learned earlier that week.
This book is a useful and effective teaching tool because each letter is introduced and practiced before students are asked to use it.
Practice includes the following important vocabulary words:
- color words
- number words
- days of the week and months
- position words
- sports
- family members
Curriculum topics addressed include:
- nutrition
- the solar system
- the layers of the Earth
- recycling
- fractions
- the continents
- geometric shapes
- money
- energy
Skills reinforced that help keep handwriting legible include:
- correct letter formation
- letter placement
- spacing between letters
- spacing between words
These materials are mostly practice; any instruction is limited.
Thirty-six weeks of daily practice! Kids will definitely not feel overwhelmed by these short handwriting exercises: half-page assignments on Mondays-Thursdays and a full-page assignment on Fridays. By writing words and sentences on a daily basis, your child's letter formation and spacing will gradually improve. As an added benefit, kids will learn about the continents, animals, famous inventors, and more as they practice their handwriting! The last four weeks of practice are used to make an alphabet book.
Books are available in Traditional Manuscript, Traditional Cursive, Modern Manuscript, and Modern (Contemporary) Cursive. Both styles of cursive books (grades 3-6) and of manuscript books (K-2) are identical in content. They differ only in the handwriting style that is presented.
Teacher Books are reproducible while the Student Practice Books (Individual Student Workbooks) are not reproducible. All workbook pages have black and white illustrations that can be colored. Anh
