Category Description for Draw-Write-Now
Draw-Write-Now combines art instruction with handwriting practice and incorporates more than a little history and science instruction along the way. Based on a successful formula created by a former teacher to inspire her students, these inviting books might become your child’s favorite part of the school day!
The books are non-consumable, as your child will do the
actual artwork and writing on separate paper or in the optional workbook. Each
book is divided into three themes with a total of 21 lessons. In each lesson, a
colorful picture shows the author’s model artwork, with neatly penned text on
ruled lines underneath. Step-by-step drawing instruction for the main object in
the picture is contained on the facing page. Usually, this begins with basic
shape(s), and then details are added a little at a time. Text is informational
and in short sentences.
After the handwriting is finished, your child can color the picture with crayons, colored pencils, or felt tips. Additional lesson-specific drawing tips and suggestions are offered in the Teaching Tips section.

Great step by step drawing instructions. Also, a helpful resource to find other books on a topic. I saw great improvement in my kids art after using this book. They pay a lot more attention to the whole scene rather than just the subject.

Fun and Educational!
My 5 year old enjoys learning a little something about each animal and doesn't mind the writing part since there is a fun drawing lesson after! I have my 7 year old join to do the writing part in cursive and do the drawing lesson as well.

A wonderful beginning drawing book!
My 4 year old daughter loves this book. Her drawing skills have really improved over the month that she has been using this book. Although it is intended for handwriting, I purchased it so she could practice pencil control. Even though she cannot write the sentences (she does label her drawings), she can follow the easy steps to draw the animals and people.

FUN!
My daughter
(5) Hates handwriting but loves art. Having her write the sentences to be able to draw the picture was great incentive!

Love it!!
My children ages 4 and 6 (girls) absolutely love doing these lessons together. I write what is on the book on our board in cursive my 6 ur old can copy it. They get extremely excited when they see me pull the book out. My 6 yr old has drawn a few of the lessons by herself. It is that simple. We love it!!

I have used these books for three years My children love to learn to draw the different scenes and I love that they practice neat handwriting I also think it is wonderful that even my least artistic children can draw and make their picture look like the pictures in the book somewhat We love researching each topic and the bonus question added to each entry is always a fun one to guess atwe are seldom correct!

I loved these books! Why? They didnt look anything like handwriting books! They looked fun and anything that can make boys or just reluctant writers want to write is an awesome resource!! My kids also enjoyed picking from the various topics or themes that are individualized in each books Plus combining the drawing lesson with the copy work I believe is a great way to refine motor skills and open them up to their own creativity

Book 1 of this series has set my 6-year-old daughter free! She loved to draw before but this book has given her some of the techniques and discipline to create really nice pictures that she can be proud ofI have to admit I was really leery of "how-to-draw" books in general I've avoided them for years thinking they'd stifle the kids' creativity Now I see the truth: by showing kids how to break real objects down into basic shapes and simple steps you are actually *facilitating* their own creative process unlocking a world of artBy the way I have always been ashamed of the fact that I can't draw worth beans Turns out I was just never taught how This book has been a great beginning for BOTH of us(ps We don't do the writing yet but I plan to start Right now I just have her write the name of the animal)
Have a question? Ask owners.

Why did you choose this?
Does the child write and draw in the book or do they have to use separate paper? I thought you did the copywork and drawings right in the book, but after watching the video here it looks like you have to use your own paper for that? Thanks.
You do need separate paper; there is no space in the book to write. So I was easily able to use this with multiple kids. We bought the handwriting paper that has white space on the top to draw. It worked perfectly!
Have used it for years
Some of my kids are not too excited about my preferred handwriting curriculum, and we are leaning more towards unschooling. I plan to present this to my kids who are more interested in drawing than…
I used this when I was a kid and loved it and I thought my kids would love it too
