A Reason for Handwriting: Level D
If your fourth grader is going to spend time practicing handwriting, why not make it meaningful? A Reason for Handwriting: Level D pairs daily cursive practice with a weekly Scripture verse, building fluency through steady, Scripture-based copywork across the school year.
The worktext is built around 32 weekly lessons on a 5-day rhythm. The first three days of each week, your child writes letters and words from the week's verse. On day 4, he traces the full verse as it appears in the worktext. On day 5, he chooses a Border Sheet from the back of the book, copies the verse onto it in his best cursive, and colors the artwork around it.
Daily lessons take 10–15 minutes. Scripture verses come from the Living Bible paraphrase.
For additional teaching support, the Teacher Guidebook (available separately) covers Levels A through F with extension ideas and teaching tips.

Favorite handwriting curriculum!
Ryan T.
This is our second year using this curriculum and we love it! The lessons are broken down very nicely and aren’t overwhelming. I love that the lessons focus on scripture as well. The coloring pages with verse writing are an added bonus!

Not impressive
A. P.
I needed a new cursive curriculum for my two 4th graders and thought this would be it. I was not impressed. If my kids had already been working on this style of cursive, I think it would have done alright. However, they started with another curriculum. They actually found this curriculum boring. We stuck with it this year but will be trying something different next year.

A reason for Writing D Grade 4
Kathy K.
My son has never enjoyed practicing cursive handwriting, however he has enjoyed these short lessons that are straight from the scriptures! The pictures are colorful and we enjoy practicing the entire scripture verse at the end of each week!

Cursive Fun

My 4th grader enjoys writing in cursive. A Reason for Writing D - Grade 4 has the right amount of repetition. We love the bible verse at the end of each unit.

Simple & Fun
MandyJHoffman
This curriculum is simple to use and fun. The student is able to do it almost completely independently and it makes learning penmanship a breeze. My kids love to give away the 5th day lesson page after they have completed it and colored it. For my little artist, that is what she looks forward to each week. Even my child who hates to write, does not complain when it's time to do his handwriting.

So far so great!

My 4th grader enjoys coloring each "final week's assignment" sheet and decided how she will gift it to a family member or someone that is sick. She careful colors the sheet and then just as carefully artistically completes the handwriting assignment. It has helped slow her down to focus on the correct letter formation.

Great for good writers
fulltimemama
This handwriting curriculum is great if you want to practice with those who already write there cursive letters and words well. I would not recommend it if you are still teaching the technique of cursive handwriting. Every lesson is broke down into 4 days.You work on a letter and than different words with that letter in it. Overall this was a good curriculum.
