These
manuscript handwriting lessons, based on weekly scripture verses, encourage
kids to memorize and share God’s Word with others. Using a 5-day schedule,
Level B begins with a review of manuscript letter formation before beginning
daily writing practice of selected words from the scripture of the week. By day
5, students will write the complete verse onto a detailed border sheet from the
back of the workbook, coloring it if they wish – before displaying or sharing it with
others. 144 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Reason for Handwriting B Student Workbook
A Reason for Handwriting Level B Student Worktext begins with 10 lessons reviewing manuscript letter formation. After completing the review, the work text proceeds to 30 weekly lessons, which each provide 10-15 minutes of daily practice. On days 1 - 3, your child will write letters and words from the week's Scripture verse. On day 4, she will transcribe the entire verse on a piece of practice paper. On the final day, she'll select a Border Sheet from the back of the book, and write the week's Scripture verse in her best handwriting, then use her creativity to color the design on the Border Sheet.
Note: The weekly verse in A Reason For Handwriting Level B corresponds with the same week's theme verse in A Reason For Spelling Level B, thus reinforcing the Scripture content of each lesson.
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.
