Everything needed to lay a strong foundation for handwriting in preschool! This Beginning Manuscript Set includes two newly updated resources: the Pre-K Student Book and the Teacher Guidebook (covering levels Pre-K and K). With 52 lessons, students begin with prewriting exercises before learning all 26 letters of the alphabet in lowercase and uppercase. A fun coloring page ties into each lesson! Lines are 1 ¼ inches with a dotted midline and a cute treehouse picture (love this!) that sits there to remind students of letter formation and placement. Every lesson helps students explore God’s creation while learning handwriting!

Description
Publisher's Description of Handwriting Pre-K Letter Introduction Set
Pre-K Letter Introduction is a revised and updated version of our beloved Level K Handwriting book. Recommended for Pre-K or K4 classes, it introduces students to beginning letter formation.
The brightly-illustrated book features animals and God's creation, with short lessons to build motor skills and introduce upper and lower case manuscript letters. For teachers who have used the previous level K book, Pre-K Letter Introduction contains many of the same lessons with a greatly expanded 24 pages of exercises to develop manual dexterity and practice the various strokes used in letter formation. After completing the exercises, students then progress to lowercase letter formation and practice, followed by upper case. There are 52 two-page lessons focusing on each letter of the alphabet in upper and lower case, with nine two-page review lessons appearing periodically through the course of the work. The book concludes with four two-page review lessons.
The Teacher Guidebook includes instructor materials for Pre-K Letter Introduction and Kindergarten Beginning Manuscript. The guide provides daily lesson plans for the Pre-K and Kindergarten student worktexts, Manuscript letter formation chart, teaching tips and techniques, strategies for remedial instruction, extended teaching/enrichment activities, reproducible student resources, and more.

Category Description for A Reason for Handwriting
A Reason for Handwriting is an appealing, full-color Christian handwriting program that provides instruction and practice in traditional style handwriting with about 30 lessons per level (except for K, which has 49). Each level has a letter designation, with a whole book for transition from manuscript to cursive in between B and C. The updated 2023 Transition Book (Level T) is designed to replace either Level B (preferred) or Level C (a later transition for students needing extra manuscript practice). If using the Level T book to replace Level C, students will review manuscript prior to starting cursive, midway through the year. Starting in Book C, all handwriting is cursive. In the more advanced levels, discussion questions accompany the weekly Bible verse.
In the Transition Book and Book C, lines are 3/8" while manuscript books have lines that are 5/8". Each student workbook (except K level) contains a large back section of border sheets (one per lesson featuring nicely lined and bordered papers) as a weekly challenge for students to write their scripture verses on them "in their best handwriting." Scripture verses are taken from the Living Bible translation.
The Student Desk Card shows manuscript and cursive letters on a personal-sized card, or you can put the big letters up on the wall using the alphabet wall sheets. One comprehensive teacher's guide covers the whole series. Please note that sets are also available, which include the student book and teacher guide at a discount.
