A Reason for Handwriting B - Grade 2

A Reason for Handwriting Level B

Your second grader is now ready to master handwriting with purpose. A Reason for Handwriting Level B keeps practice short, sweet, and meaningful—without endless repetition or forgettable phrases.

The first 10 lessons warm up those writing muscles with a review of individual letters. Then, across 30 weeks, your child will copy short segments from a Bible verse Monday through Wednesday. Thursday brings the full verse—no pressure, just his best effort. On Friday, your child writes the verse on a beautifully illustrated Border Sheet and brings it to life with color. These finished pages are perfect for mailing to Grandma, taping to the fridge, or sharing with a neighbor who needs a smile.

Each daily session takes only 10–15 minutes. That means it fits into your day easily—without crowding out the good stuff like science projects or squirrel-watching breaks.

The full-color worktext uses verses from the Living Bible paraphrase, drawing directly from the Gospels. If you're particular about translations, just know that even this paraphrased Scripture carries more meaning than the random trivia found in other handwriting programs.

The Teacher's Guide (sold separately) spans the whole series and provides just enough structure to make your life easier—no hours of prep or experience required.

Not sure if Level B is quite the right fit? The optional Transition Book lets students ease from manuscript to cursive and can be used in place of Level B or C. It's an excellent tool for tailoring the sequence to your child's readiness.

So, if you're going to have your child spend time shaping letters, let it be time that also shapes character.
