Recommended for Grade 2 or 3. Includes both manuscript and cursive. 176 pages. The Transition work text is designed to facilitate a mid-year shift from manuscript to cursive handwriting. Your child will review manuscript for the first semester, then transition to learning and practicing cursive letters in the second half of the year. Contents of the Transition student worktext include: 10 daily practice lessons (2 weeks total) reviewing manuscript letter formation, 16 weekly lessons in manuscript, 45 practice daily lessons (9 weeks total) introducing cursive letter formation, 9 weekly lessons in cursive, Border Sheets (one side manuscript, one side cursive) for use with the weekly lessons. Lessons provide 10-15 minutes of daily practice. On days 1 - 3 of weekly lessons, your child writes letters and words from the week's Scripture verse. On day 4, he traces over the entire verse as written in the work text. On the final day, he'll select a Border Sheet from the back of the book, and write the week's Scripture verse in his best handwriting, then use his creativity to color the design on the Border Sheet.
