 How do the Handwriting verses correlate with the Spelling?
 With the exception of the Transition book, the verses used in
A Reason For®
Spelling
are sequentially the same verses used in
A Reason For®
Handwriting. This allows you to easily correlate the lessons if desired.
What "level" of
Handwriting worktext should I purchase for my child?
In general, Level A = first grade, Level B = second grade,
etc. However, the Student Worktexts can be easily moved up or down a grade
level to accomodate student need.
Why do you
start off with Manuscript handwriting?
From street signs to cereal boxes to school textbooks,
children live in a manuscript world. Research suggests that learning one style
of text for reading and a completely different style for writing can lead to
significant problems. For more information on this topic, (Click

Why don't your
Worktexts come in D'Nealian or Getty/Dubay style?

When should I
make the transition from manuscript to cursive?
This depends on student readiness. In general, you should
never begin the transition to cursive until a child has completely mastered
manuscript writing. For more information on this topic (Click

Is the Handwriting Teacher Guidebook really necessary?
The Comprehensive Teacher Guidebook contains specific
instructions for using the curriculum, plus detailed lesson plans, answer keys,
extension activities, and much more. It is impossible to use the Student
Worktext effectively without this information.
Why do you use the Living Bible in this series?
Since
A Reason For® Handwriting
was designed to teach elementary handwriting, using a Scripture translation
with simple, easy-to-understand vocabulary was essential. The Living Bible
paraphrase (Tyndale House) meets this criteria. However, we also suggest that
you encourage students to compare these verses with the translation you use for
in-depth Bible study. This process can generate valuable student dialog.
