"It's not difficult to show a child how to form letters — the challenge is motivating them to practice carefully."
The displayed sentences in each lesson relate to the subject drawn and are short and simple, allowing the child to focus on developing their handwriting skills. Shown in manuscript writing, the lessons may be used with cursive, D'Nealian, modern manuscript, Italic — any style! The child or teacher simply transposes the letters to the selected handwriting style or the teacher may customize the sentences using StartWrite Handwriting Software.

The Award-Winning Series
"In 1959, Alaska became a state of the United States.
I created lessons for my class on the people,
land, and animals of the Arctic, which naturally
led to a 
unit on the Antarctic."

"I was a student in my mother's 2nd grade class. As we worked on the background drawing of our muskox drawings, she talked about the defensive position the animals take when a predator appears. The herd forms a circle with their horns pointed outward, while their young and weak stand safely in the center of the circle. This unique defensive position protected the herds successfully until Europeans and Asians introduced firearms to North America. Under the new circumstances, the stance was dangerous, and brought the herds close to extinction. In the early 1900s, concerned people created laws to ban the use of firearms on muskoxen, which helped increase their numbers. My mother's lesson covered nature, history, and social studies."
