Presidential Penmanship

Every week I ponder some of the wisest sayings of the US Presidents.  Here’s what ended up on my desk this morning, in painstakingly neat handwriting: It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God.—Abraham Lincoln Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.  –Abraham Lincoln Things may come to

LightHome Publications Penmanship Books

I like handwriting books.  They make life simple:  Get out the book, turn to the page, write, put the book away.  Repeat until the book is finished. This year, though, I decided that the shipping and handling on my favorite handwriting book was outrageous.  I refused to do it. What’s a homeschool mama to do?  Download handwriting books instead! So, I tripped along to Currclick

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

The Master Writer Quotation Copybooks by Westvon Publishing do

Draw Write Now

We enjoy incorporating art into our unit studies. There are many ways to accomplish this, but one of my favorites is to have my children do a lesson from Draw Write Now, a series of books containing beginning drawing lessons and handwriting practice for primary and elementary students. The author, Marie Hablitzel, developed this collection of lessons for her second-grade students after seeing that they were becoming

The Palmer Method of Business Writing

Guest post by Dana Hanley I never thought much about handwriting when I started homeschooling.  I never thought about its principles or developed any particular philosophy of what handwriting was or how good handwriting should be developed.  I taught it exactly as I had been taught:  through repetition and drill, expecting perfect conformity of letters.  I must confess that I have had no more luck
