A Reason for Handwriting A - Grade 1

A Reason for Handwriting Level A

Handwriting might not top your academic to-do list these days, but if your child's going to spend time shaping letters, why not feed his heart too? That's the idea behind A Reason for Handwriting Level A—a faith-filled, motor-skills-building handwriting journey for first graders.

Each 10- to 15-minute daily lesson begins with a quick warm-up tracing letters and words from a weekly Scripture verse. By day four, your child is confidently writing the full verse on practice paper. On day five, it's his moment to shine—he'll copy the verse on a full-color "Scripture Border Sheet" and personalize it with color and care. These masterpieces are the kind of work you'll actually want to hang up.

The worktext kicks off with 30 lessons focused solely on mastering manuscript letter formation—uppercase, lowercase, and everything in between. From there, it flows into 28 weeks of scripture-centered handwriting practice.

Each workbook is printed in full color and uses Scripture from the Living Bible. The verses aren't just handwriting material—they're soul food. You won't find throwaway lines about soccer balls or recycling bins here. Just timeless truth, presented in a format your child can write and remember.

This program gently builds alignment, slant, spacing, and confidence—and the best part? You don't need to plan a thing. Just open the book, sit beside your child, and watch both his writing and his knowledge of Scripture grow.
