Handwriting guidelines are 9/16" wide with dotted middles in this colorful, extra-practice tablet. There are six practice lines per page. The lines house is here, too, but without the colorful details – just basic lines. A removable letter chart shows the proper letter strokes for each letter. The tablet starts with a review of lower-case letters. A printed alphabet at the bottom of each page highlights the letter being practiced. About half-way through the tablet, capital letters are taught and practiced. Lined pages make up the last part of the tablet – ready for copywork. As in all the Abeka handwriting material, proper hand and body position is emphasized.
