Publisher's Description of Horizons Penmanship Grade 1 Student Book
Don't write off the importance of teaching good handwriting skills in your homeschool. Even in today's high-tech world, your child will benefit from being able to fill out forms, write thank-you notes, and sign his name in proper penmanship. With the Horizons 1st Grade Penmanship Student Book, your homeschooler will learn the fundamentals of manuscript writing with engaging, daily writing lessons that include line and circle practice, half circles, letters and simple words. Friendly, colorful cartoon characters within the Horizons curriculum make manuscript writing fun! Plus, as your child's handwriting abilities progress, he'll learn to write weekly Scripture verses on beautifully-designed worksheet pages suitable to use in decorating his room or giving as a gift to someone special.
But there's more! Correct posture, hand and pencil positions, letter formation, and left-handed and right-handed writing techniques are also emphasized to make teaching penmanship during your homeschooling a breeze.
Category Description for Horizons Penmanship
With Horizons Penmanship, traditional handwriting models are paired with attention to pencil grip, paper position, posture, stroke, letter height, spacing, capitalization, and punctuation. Quality copy material is included, such as children’s poetry, Bible stories, parables, historical documents, Aesop’s fables and other words of wisdom (Gr. 6). This is often coupled with Bible verses (NIV) at all levels.
Lessons are organized into 32 units of five, one-page lessons, concentrating on a particular skill or letter group each week. The weekly fifth lesson is a decorative picture page on which the student writes a selected Bible verse or copywork passage. Teacher’s Guides include reproducible extra practice pages along with other reproducible pages. It would be very difficult to do the program without using the TGs because copywork models are only partially included in the Student Books.
Although a print (manuscript) model is provided for practice during the week, the Teacher’s Guide provides another version (usually cursive) of the model for the student to work from for the final “penmanship performance” of the week. In Gr. 5 there is an optional additional copywork activity for each week – an excerpt from a presidential inaugural address. An added feature is students writing letters in other languages (such as Latin and French) and even composing their own words of wisdom.
