Horizons Penmanship Grade 6 Student Book
Grade 6 provides copywork for students in order to strengthen and maintain cursive skills. Passages are taken from Aesop, Proverbs, epigrams, riddles, prayers, and more - essentially words of wisdom from around the world. An added feature is students writing letters in other languages (such as Latin and Chinese) and eve composing their own words of wisdom.
Improve your child's cursive and manuscript with practice in handwriting that also introduces students to ancient writings, classic literature, and world languages. Featuring 160 daily lessons, the Horizons 6th Grade Penmanship Student Book contains removable daily worksheets with comprehension questions on passages that students have copied, such as Aesop's fables, epigrams, riddles, prayers, and proverbs.
Students also enjoy composing their own words of wisdom and writing characters and words in other languages, including Old English, French, Chinese, Latin, and Swahili. In addition, the student workbook offers handwriting tips, letter formation guides, and removable worksheets that follow a five-day weekly cycle.
With Horizons Penmanship, traditional handwriting models are paired with attention to pencil grip, paper position, posture, stroke, letter height, spacing, capitalization, and punctuation. Quality copy material is included, such as children’s poetry, Bible stories, parables, historical documents, Aesop’s fables and other words of wisdom (Gr. 6). This is often coupled with Bible verses (NIV) at all levels.
Lessons are organized into 32 units of five, one-page lessons, concentrating on a particular skill or letter group each week. The weekly fifth lesson is a decorative picture page on which the student writes a selected Bible verse or copywork passage. Teacher’s Guides include reproducible extra practice pages along with other reproducible pages. It would be very difficult to do the program without using the TGs because copywork models are only partially included in the Student Books.
Although a print (manuscript) model is provided for practice during the week, the Teacher’s Guide provides another version (usually cursive) of the model for the student to work from for the final “penmanship performance” of the week. In Gr. 5 there is an optional additional copywork activity for each week – an excerpt from a presidential inaugural address. An added feature is students writing letters in other languages (such as Latin and French) and even composing their own words of wisdom.
