The book, Daily Handwriting Practice: Traditional Manuscript, is not just a handwriting book; it is a learning tool that develops young minds to practice basic skills. Students write letters, words and sentences about a variety of topics that are appropriate for the primary classroom. From Monday through Thursday, the weekly subjects for writing include Nutrition, Our solar system, Pets and Vehicles. On Friday, a full-page exercise draws a topic that is close by reviewing what was learned earlier. This book is an effective teaching tool, because each letter is introduced just before students are asked to use it.
