A Reason for Handwriting - Level F

Recommended for Grade 6 A Reason for Handwriting - Level F continues your student's instruction in cursive. A Reason for Handwriting Level F Student Worktext includes 32 weekly lessons, which provide 10-15 minutes of daily practice. 


On days one to three, students write letters and words from the week's Scripture verse. On day four, students transcribe the entire verse on a piece of practice paper. 


On the final day, students select a Border Sheet from the back of the book and write the week's Scripture verse in their best handwriting. They can then use their creativity to color the design on their Border Sheet.


About the A Reason for Handwriting Series

Handwriting, especially in this era of word processors, is a relatively low priority compared to other subjects. However, if you are going to make handwriting a part of your curriculum, here is something to think about. 


Handwriting is a learned motor skill requiring regular practice. Doesn't it seem that if your child is going to labor over something with his mind and hands, he should also engage his heart? A Reason for Handwriting does all three.


With each 10- to 15-minute daily lesson built around Bible verses, the content is not only instructional but also inspirational. Plus, at the end of each week, your children will be given the opportunity to apply excellence to their work as they copy their verse-of-the-week onto their choice of "Scripture Border Sheets." These completed sheets are worth sharing with friends and family. 


A Reason for Handwriting uses a Living Bible paraphrase for its verses. For those dyed-in-the-wool KJV-only families, let me suggest that even this Scriptural rendition is better for your child to toil over than any trivial sentence about the environment, sports events, or popular media standard in other handwriting programs. Each workbook is full color.

Love this curriculum!

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

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

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!

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

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.
