Publisher's Description of A Reason for Handwriting B Set (Teacher & Student)
A Reason for Handwriting Level B Student Worktext begins with 10 daily lessons reviewing manuscript letter formation. After completing the review, the work text proceeds to 30 weekly lessons, which each provide 10-15 minutes of daily practice. On days 1-3, students write letters and words from the week’s Scripture verse. On day 4, students transcribe the entire verse on a piece of practice paper. On the final day, students select a Border Sheet from the back of the book, and write the week’s Scripture verse in their best handwriting, then use their creativity to color the design on their Border Sheet.
Note: The weekly verse in A Reason For Handwriting Level B
corresponds with the same week’s theme verse in A Reason For Spelling Level B,
Thus reinforcing the Scripture content of each lesson.
The new Teacher Guidebook will include lesson plans for
Manuscript Levels A and B, Transition (Level T), and Cursive Levels C,D,E, and
F.
The guide provides daily lesson plans for every level, letter formation charts in both manuscript and cursive, teaching tips and techniques, strategies for remedial and advanced instruction, extended teaching / enrichment activities, vocabulary lists, scope and sequence for each level, reproducible student resources, and more. 202 pgs.
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.
