Animal Habitats: On Land, Pond and Rivers, Oceans
Study land, freshwater, and saltwater. Compare the land homes of the speedy jackrabbit and of the sturdy mountain goat. Then, splash with frogs in freshwater wetlands. Next, explore creatures in saltwater environments from shoreline to the ocean's dark depths. See the Table of Contents of each book in the series.
Art Instruction
Introduce art concepts while drawing. Study the horizon line (on land or underwater) and how the line shifts in relationship to where the artist is positioned.
"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.

of Draw Write Now.
"My students were disciplined in their schoolwork, because attention to detail was necessary for drawing. It requires focus when drawing a diagonal pattern on a pinecone or the graceful droop of a vine with heart-shaped leaves. I believe my students were good listeners and followed directions well, because they focused on the drawing instruction. The more drawings we made together, the easier it was for my students to read, learn math concepts and write, so I gradually developed enough lessons to give a different lesson each morning. I don't know what I would have done without drawing instruction in my classroom!"
