A Reason for Handwriting: Level F
If your sixth grader is going to spend time practicing handwriting, why not make it meaningful? A Reason for Handwriting: Level F 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.

Love this curriculum!
Ryan T.
I really like the Reason for Handwriting series. We used these last year and really enjoyed them. I love how the lessons are based on learning Bible verses. My 6th grader is excited to move on to this level. His handwriting improved so much last year using this curriculum.

Well put together. Really like
Chrystal Y.
Well put together. Really like the sheets in the back that allow your creative child to pick a sheet to go with their work. They could make it a piece of art if they choose.

Solid program
Anonymous
I agree that A Reason for Writing would not be enough remedial instruction for a struggling student, but the Christian content and the digestible, repetitious, nature of the simple program has its merits. I use this with another support program for my struggling student, but it is quite sufficient for my typical students.

Excellent handwriting program!
Debbie
Excellent handwriting program! Each child works on memorizing and writing out one verse each week. The handwriting practice is divided by four days. By the end of the week the student should be able to write out the verse in its entirety. I like this program because my son can work on it on his own and it is not overwhelming.

So straightforward in teaching
Julie K.
We started using this from the very beginning. It is so straightforward in teaching printing and then transitioning to cursive, that my children wanted to do more than the necessary amount for the day. I love the Bible verses it reinforces and the kids love the illustrated characters that show up throughout the books.

Dramatic improvement upon use!
Tracy F.
I trusted Karen Andreola's review of Getty-Dubay Italic in the CBD catalog, but when my 8th and 6th graders still couldn't READ cursive, and couldn't read their own italic, I knew something was lacking. Because I've never been dissatisfied with a recommendation from Timberdoodle, I took their advice and switched to A Reason... Within a week both were dramatically improved. I've used this for three years now with my seven children. (It should be noted in the catalog that the Transition book contains all of the exercises/material found in Book B)

A perfect way to work on penmanship!
Erin M.
This program was recommended to us and we loved it! My girls were able to learn cursive painlessly. What surprised me most was how much they enjoyed doing the copywork of bible verses. They would always put their best effort into their handwriting, color the pictures on the paper provided, and have it ready for when their Daddy came home from work. It definitely put a smile on his face and some warmth in his heart. What a perfect way to work on having beautiful penmanship!
