A Reason for Handwriting C - Grade 3
A Reason for Handwriting - Level C
A Reason for Handwriting Level C Student Worktext begins with 27 lessons introducing basic cursive letter formation. After completing the introduction, the worktext proceeds to 32 weekly lessons, providing 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.
FeaturesVerses are taken from the New Testament Epistles. Does NOT include transition or manuscript lessons.
NOTE: The Transition Book will replace either book B or C. The Transition Book includes extra exercises for both manuscript and cursive. If your second-grader is ready for cursive, then you should use The Transition Book and follow it with book C. If your third-grader needs more work on manuscript before tackling cursive, use The Transition Book, and then follow with book D.

review by So Every Day
”By the end of the week they are writing a memory verse completely on their own and you allowed them some basic independence over their own work and you didn’t need to print out special cursive practice pages or choose a section from a novel for them to copy.”
