At this level, students start the
year by quickly overviewing capital letters (about 5 pages) and then spend over
40 pages reviewing lowercase (letter order retains the same famous HWT developmental
order). After each letter grouping, review pages provide word, sentence, and
paragraph writing practice—putting skills learned into practice. Exercises near
the course’s end practice multiple language skills such as copying sentences in
paragraphs, selecting correct vowels, alliteration, writing antonyms, sign language
letters, syllables, and compound words. Number practice (and activities) and a
final check complete the book. Landscape format, 102 pgs, sc. ~ Ruth
