This course is composed of one workbook with 36 lessons having tear-out pages, and a 91-page teacher's manual that shows a reduced pupil's page and gives detailed teaching instructions for each lesson. Principles for teaching penmanship are given, along with proper posture, pencil holding, and paper placement. Special instructions are given for teaching left-handed students. This course also gives considerable attention to quality in penmanship, which includes proper stroke formation, slant, alignment, size, proportion, line quality, and spacing. The students review numerals, and both manuscript and cursive capital and small letters. The last lesson is "Quality Checkup."
Pupils learn about animals as they copy cursive sentences about them. They also learn to make proper margins on both sides of their papers and they copy five different poems.
Each lesson has practice lines on the back of the tear-out sheet. The lines are spaced 3/8" apart with a middle dashed line to help children proportion their letters properly.
