Description
Reason for Handwriting has been a popular handwriting series for
years. Now preschoolers can enjoy this new addition to the series as they learn
to write all 26 letters of the alphabet correctly! Following the traditional
style, letter formation is taught by using parts of a treehouse (roofline,
ceiling, floor, ground, etc.). The treehouse appears in every lesson to remind
students how to place their letters. Lessons begin with twenty pages of
prewriting activities (tracing and cutting exercises to learn horizontal,
vertical, circle, etc.) followed by 52 lessons. Every lesson introduces a new
letter, first lowercase then uppercase. Children practice writing the letter on
the front side then color a picture of God’s creation that begins with the
letter on the back. As children become confident in writing letters of the
alphabet, their sounds are reinforced and whole words are put together and
practiced. The teacher guidebook for all the levels includes fun information
about each picture and an additional activity if you want to take it further. Review
pages pop up every now and then so students can practice what they’ve learned.
Each letter has about three lines of practice and lines are 1 ¼” with a dotted
midline. Pages are perforated for easy tear out. Softcover, 160 pgs. ~ Gina
Publisher's Description of Reason for Handwriting Pre-K Introduction to Letters Student Workbook
Pre-K Letter Introduction is a revised and updated version of our beloved Level K Handwriting book. Recommended for Pre-K or K4 classes, it introduces students to beginning letter formation.
The brightly-illustrated book features animals and God's creation, with short lessons to build motor skills and introduce upper and lower case manuscript letters. For teachers who have used the previous Level K book, Pre-K Letter Introduction contains many of the same lessons with a greatly expanded 24 pages of exercises to develop manual dexterity and practice the various strokes used in letter formation. After completing the exercises, students then progress to lowercase letter formation and practice, followed by upper case. There are 52 two-page lessons focusing on each letter of the alphabet in upper and lower case, with nine two-page review lessons appearing periodically through the course of the work. The book concludes with four two-page review lessons.
Please note: this updated worktext DOES NOT align completely with the Comprehensive Teacher Guidebook. A free PDF teacher guide will be available for download in August 2024.
Category Description for Traditional Style Manuscript & Cursive Programs - Grade Specific
These materials are graded specifically and include both instruction and practice.
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.
