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 Quality copy material is included, such as children’s poetry, Bible sto­ries, parables, historical documents, Aesop’s fables and other words of wisdom (Gr. 6).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.
