Daily Handwriting Practice is based on the premise that frequent, focused practice leads to mastery and retention of the handwriting forms practiced.
Students practice writing letters, words, and sentences.
The content is based on important vocabulary words, language skills, and appropriate curriculum topics.
Each book is divided into 36 weekly sections.
Focused practice is limited to a half-page Monday through Thursday.
Friday's practice is a full page that reviews and practices the letter forms and content of the week.
During the final four weeks of practice, students make an alphabet book.
A full-page chart showing proper, traditional cursive letter formation is included.
Each letter is introduced and practiced before students are asked to use it.
