Bring out the beauty of your child's handwriting with the Horizons 2nd Grade Penmanship Set from Alpha Omega Publications. This effective, Bible-based penmanship curriculum reinforces the basics of manuscript writing in lessons 1-75 and then introduces new cursive writing skills throughout lessons 76-160. Practice writing lessons include inspirational quotes, poems, and Scripture verses (NIV) on ½" lines to perfect your child's handwriting. Friendly, colorful cartoon characters keep each lesson engaging, plus your child will love displaying his best writing on the beautifully bordered practice pages.
The Horizons 2nd Grade Penmanship Set also includes a complete teacher's guide with reproducible practice pages and daily lesson plans. Practical teaching tips, activities, and illustrations make the most of your homeschool teaching time so your child can be writing cursive notes to Grandma in no time at all!
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 Quality copy material is included, such as children’s poetry, Bible stories, parables, historical documents, Aesop’s fables and other words of wisdom (Grade 6).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 Teacher's Guides 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 Grade 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.
