Creative Writing/Penmanship
Combining their strong emphasis on neat and consistent penmanship with creative writing is a unique element of Abeka’s handwriting program. Integrated with other language arts books, these instructional books embrace spelling assignments (copy spelling lists) as well as creative writing assignments (journal entries and paragraphs from prompts) and pair them up with letter formation review, copywork, penmanship progress evaluation and tests. Lesson plans for the penmanship books are included in the Language Arts Curriculum Lesson Plans [070062 (3rd), 070063 (4th), 010229 (5th), and 070064 (6th)]. Overall, an interesting and highly effective approach.
