Item Description

As pupils learn to spell, write legibly and rapidly what they read, and proof their work, their reading levels increase and they use their ability to express themselves in writing more frequently. From the exercises found in Teaching Manuscript and Cursive Penmanship Skills, students learn to evaluate the quality of their writing. They learn to proof and correct their writing. Rate building practices are important in writing and are included in penmanship instruction.

Not only can teachers find directives for teaching penmanship and proofing skills, but they also learn to develop pupils' visual sequential memory as they teach them to write.

This text includes directives for both manuscript and cursive handwriting along with directives for teaching the necessary prerequisite behaviors, such as the correct writing posture, how to hold a pencil, how to identify the lines on the paper for practice, and how to place the paper on the desk correctly.
