Publisher's Description of Reason for Handwriting Transition Student Workbook
Recommended for Grade 2 or 3. Includes both manuscript and cursive. This newly UPDATED VERSION contains 176 pages.
The updated Transition worktext is designed to facilitate a mid-year shift from manuscript to cursive handwriting. Students will review manuscript for the first semester, then transition to learning and practicing cursive letters in the second half of the year.
Contents of the Transition student worktext include:
- 10 daily practice lessons (2 weeks total) reviewing manuscript letter formation,
- 16 weekly lessons in manuscript,
- 45 practice daily lessons (9 weeks total) introducing cursive letter formation,
- 9 weekly lessons in cursive,
- Border Sheets (one side manuscript, one side cursive) for use with the weekly lessons.
Lessons provide 10-15 minutes of daily practice.
On days 1 - 3 of weekly lessons, students write letters and words from the week's Scripture verse. On day 4, students trace over the entire verse as written in the work text. 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.
Category Description for Traditional Style Manuscript & Cursive Programs - Grade Specific
These materials are graded specifically and include both instruction and practice.
Category Description for A Reason For Handwriting
An appealing, full-color Christian handwriting program that provides instruction and practice in handwriting (traditional style) 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 newly 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) facilitating a mid-year transition from manuscript to cursive. Starting in Book C, all handwriting is cursive. In the more advanced levels, discussion questions accompany the weekly Bible verse. One more issue to note is the height of the lines; they are smaller in the cursive section of the Transition Book or Book C (3/8") than in the previous books (manuscript books have 5/8" lines). Each student workbook (except K level) contains a large back section of border sheets (nicely lined and bordered papers…one per lesson) 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.) 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.
