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.
I chose this program becasue it's recommended by Ambleside Online, and upon recieving the workbooks I decided to get the teacher's book because the lessons aren't super clear in the workbook itself.…
We bought the student workbook from Rainbow Resource at the HEAV Homeschool Convention and would also like to have the Teacher Guidebook.

I have purchased the A Reason for Handwriting for my daughter and it suggested that this be purchased with it for more practice and other additional goodies as her teacher.
