Draw in these books.We begin with a drawing lesson. After the subject is drawn (e.g., a horse), the child completes the picture using their own creative ideas and techniques (e.g., adding spring grass and a plum tree)—they draw their world. Then, we write. Introduce letter formation and basic sentence structure, or focus on carefully practicing and developing handwriting skills. Our lessons are flexible; some use the drawing as a prompt to strengthen other language art skills, like composition, creative writing, grammar and speech.

Handwriting Styles
“Handwriting is an Art!”, Marie said. The art of forming and spacing letters and numbers has developed over time, and currently focuses on providing children with efficient, graceful methods to write letters and numbers.

Hold the Pencil
The time-tested ergonomic way to hold a pencil is the tripod grasp. Most children can learn how to place their fingers in the tripod position, but if they have established another grasp, the tripod may feel awkward at first.

Posture
Generally, we think of sitting at a desk or table while drawing or writing, but we can also stand at an easel or blackboard, and there are those relaxing times when, with pencil and paper in hand, we lounge or cuddle.
