The A Reason for Handwriting Teacher Guidebook takes the mystery out of teaching penmanship—whether you're starting with first-grade manuscript or wrapping up with flowing sixth-grade cursive, this guide has you covered.
Inside, you'll find ready-to-use lesson plans for every level, letter formation charts in both manuscript and cursive, and loads of teaching tips, extension or discussion ideas, and remedial strategies to make handwriting instruction simple and effective. Need vocabulary lists or a reproducible student page? They're included too, along with a clear scope and sequence for each level.
What's New? The 2025 revised edition has been completely updated and expanded! It now includes lesson plans for Manuscript Levels A and B, Transition (Level T), and Cursive Levels C–F, covering grades 1–6 in one 202-page guide. (Working with younger students? Check out the Pre-K/K Teacher Guidebook for age-appropriate guidance and resources.)
The heart of A Reason for Handwriting remains the same: if your child is going to spend time practicing penmanship, let that time build character, too. Every 10- to 15-minute daily lesson centers around Scripture, giving students something meaningful to copy and reflect on.
At the end of each week, your student will copy the weekly verse onto a beautifully illustrated Scripture Border Sheet—a celebration of progress and a keepsake worth sharing.
This series uses the Living Bible paraphrase, chosen for its clear, accessible language that helps students ponder God's Word while practicing handwriting skills.
