Draw-Write-Now Book 8
Desert & Grassland Animals
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.

We love these books! They make practicing handwriting fun by integrating a drawing with each lesson. My 1st grader loves to sit down and do these by herself at the beginning of the day.
I love that it has easy figures to draw for young learners and combines an authentic, high-interest purpose for writing!
Fun way to work on penmanship
We have 2 other books in this series and all my kids love them (ages 11, 9, 7, and 5). We are making writing notebooks and they are all proud of their work!
