This colorful workbook has a portrait orientation with double-sided, perforated worksheets. Lines are 5/16" but without the familiar “handwriting" house icon. Course emphasis is a combination of proper letter formation, size, spacing, and slant. Pages have a weekly pattern of handwriting practice that includes letter stroke warm-ups, reviews, tracing, writing, and copying. Letters, letter combinations, words, and sentences reinforce the phonics instruction. Poems, Bible verses, lists, riddles, paragraphs, and journal entries are used as copywork. About a third of the way through the 275-page book, there is a transition to creative writing and prompts are added. Assignments alternate between copywork and assigned paragraphs with prompts. The last section includes 31 tests that feature a copywork piece and a section for the teacher/parent to list things to practice. Before that is a “My Journal" section (blank pages with 5/16" lines) and eight pages with lines on one side and “cover" artwork on the other. These can be folded into little booklets featuring the child's original composition.
