Publisher's Description of Exploring Handwriting Through US Geography: Print

Have you ever desired that your children learn more than one subject at a time? How about learning the Geography of the United States through handwriting?

His Story Handwriting™ and Memory Master Books™ makes this possible. Your children can learn to print while learning about the Geography of the United States!

This book is an excellent resource for learning and practicing print as well as doing copywork. While your students learn and practice printing their letters and numbers, they will also be learning about the Geography of the United States. You can also use the facts in this book as a memorization tool. As a bonus, at the end of the handwriting/copywork section of each state, there is a formated page for a brief state report.

Exploring Handwriting Through Geography is strategically designed to make your student successful. At the beginning of the book the student masters their print by tracing the facts provided. Then the book gradually removes tracing so your student can successfully write independently using the correct sized writing lines provided in the book.

GREAT VALUE: Our books have more pages upon which to practice print and copywork than any handwriting book we have ever seen. This makes our books, page for page, less expensive than any other handwriting or copywork books on the market and with much more content for the student to explore.

From learning great penmanship to Charlotte Mason style copywork, as well as Classical Conversations and other classical memorization teaching methods, His Story Handwriting™ and Memory Master Books™ are a must!

Fill in the blank with Scripture, Science, or U.S. Geography. Each book in the Exploring Handwriting Through series begins with individual letter instruction and practice of upper- and lower-case letters.

Lessons begin with a page of vocabulary words needed to understand the text. The vocabulary alone is worth using as a supplement to your school day. Students are shown a line of text (with a top, bottom, and midline), and they write their version directly below each word. They have to mimic the spacing as well as the lettering. Each sentence can take between 2-4 lines, and some of the words in the student lines are dotted for tracing (even at the cursive level). You can pull words of your choice for a spelling/vocabulary test at the end of the week, or have the kids incorporate the content into a writing/journal assign­ment.

You don’t have to be studying astron­omy in science class to use the astronomy handwriting book – it can be a complementa­ry topic and add some variety. The publisher recommends 15-20 minutes per day, or 15-30 minutes 3 times a week. All books are spiral bound and printed on both sides of the page. They are not reproducible. The more expensive books have 396 pp, and the smaller books have 112 pp. 8.5" x 11". ~Sara

Why did you choose this?

Hope to improve a 12 yo's handwriting while he also learns something important!

My daughter really liked this last year. It forced her to write SLOWLY, and she enjoyed learning the facts about America.

I thought this would be something that would interest my almost 9 year old as he practiced his handwriting.

My son is 9, and struggles with legible handwriting, many printing books seem very "young" for him, yet it is printing he needs to be proficient in before we move on to cursive. Hoping this fits the bill!
