From the Back Cover

Learn Handwriting gives specific and practical directions to enable children to develop a clear and legible handwriting. The book has been designed so that the child can enjoy working independently. In addition to teaching the 5 BASIC STROKES for forming letters, attention is given to letter connections, stroke sequence and proper spacing. The write-on, wipe-off pages allow the letters and words to be practiced over and over again, with the special colored pencil that is included.

From the Inside Flap

Learning to write script should be an enjoyable experience, since children usually look forward to it as another step toward growing up. Praise and encouragement will make them feel more secure, especially if they are told that mistakes will happen and that their letters will look better with practice. This book shows the various strokes needed in five basic shapes. Time should be spent in tracing the shapes, with fingers first and then with a pencil, whenever they appear. Talking about the shape and size of each letter, as the child traces, will be helpful. Activities for practice on each page have been designed to be fun and also to provide learning experiences about a variety of topics of interest to intermediate grade level children.Hand and paper position for Left and Right hands are shown. Notes to parents are included from Dr. Wayne Goldberg, optometrist. With praise and encouragement, you will create a relaxed atmosphere that will insure success.
