Children improve penmanship skills with the worksheets in Spencerian manuscript and cursive workbooks.
This Writing Series 1 Quarter 1 workbook corresponds with BOOK 1 of the Spencerian Penmanship. We are proud to offer a complete line of workbooks for grades 1-4 skillfully written by Dr. Rudy Moore. Available for Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, four booklets per grade per subject, they provide clear daily lessons, regular reviews, quizzes, and a pull out section containing a comprehensive test of mastery for that workbook as well as answers for all assignments, quizzes and tests.
Except for a few of the grade 1 workbooks which teach "beginning basics," each workbook is keyed to particular Classic Curriculum textbooks. As a child proceeds through the workbooks he/she is referred to the appropriate readings, lessons or through the textbooks, many prefer the guidance offered by our workbooks. We have received encouraging letters from homeschool parents who are successfully using our workbooks. Also encouraging is the number of parents using our books to enrich or improve the education of their children enrolled in public or parochial schools.
While students vary in ability and background, the following offers a suggested guide for use of the Classic Curriculum materials. [Note: All workbooks are listed in red print.]
BOOK 1
This paperback book has 24 pages. Introduces all the short letters. Only four strokes, or principles, as Spencer called them, are needed to produce these letters. Copybooks: The five copybooks make a complete course in elementary school handwriting. They can be used in any of the grades. In the mid-1800's, the Spencerian form of penmanship became a standard. An elegant handwriting was much prized. Today, in our computer age, a fine, beautiful, and legible handwriting brings a warm personal touch to our correspondence. These books, 5 copybooks and a theory book [available separately or as a set], may be used to introduce cursive writing to second or third graders or to improve the handwriting of older students or adults. |
