Canadian Handwriting Series

For years we did not use a handwriting program.  Miss 18 learned cursive from Richard Scarry’s big picture books and the handwritten examples I made up for her in a little scribbler.  She was enthusiastic and learned quickly. My son, on the other hand, was not enthusiastic.  He even had trouble printing.  When I tried to teach him cursive using my own examples, I soon concluded

A Reason for Handwriting

a reason for handwriting

We started out this year with the intent to use a different curriculum for handwriting but, of course, life happens!  We ended up moving across country, leaving behind the majority of our home to be shipped at a later date.  That means we left most of our curriculum as well!  Basically starting from scratch, I stumbled across “A Reason for Handwriting”.

Master Writer Quotation Copybooks

I have fairly high standards for copywork.  I like for it to be easy to use and cost effective. In addition, while I certainly care about their handwriting, I want my kids’ writing practice to consist of more than drill.  I want it to provide food for thought.  Of course, I really like it when the copywork complements our studies. The Master Writer Quotation Copybooks by Westvon Publishing do

Lessons in Manners for Copywork

Copywork should be easy.  It should be related to the history lesson or pulled from the read-aloud selection.  It can come from art, music, or science.  It can be a statement, a poem, or a definition.  Copywork should be easy, but if I do not take the time to gather and organize the passages it becomes a tedious, time-consuming problem.  Most of the time, I

Happy Scribe Copybooks

Based on my conversations with other homeschoolers over the years, we have mixed opinions about the importance of handwriting instruction within our homeschools.  Why do I bother to teach my children cursive handwriting in this age of e-mail, texts, and instant messaging? My children need to be able to read the cursive handwriting of others.  For example, they will need to be able to read
