The Penmanship for Christian Writing in Grade 1 consists of three workbooks that correlate well with the Grade 1 Reading Program (3rd edition). These workbooks teach the strokes needed to form each letter as it is introduced in the phonics lessons. They provide much practice to develop the needed printing skills, and students also write their spelling words as part of their penmanship lessons. The teacher's instructions for this course are included in the phonics teacher's manual, but when using this course independently, the standalone teacher's manual is recommended.
The penmanship course in Grade 2 is composed of one workbook with three units divided into 70 lessons that have tear-out pages, and a 161-page teacher's guide that contains a reduced pupil's page and detailed teaching instructions for each lesson. Principles for teaching penmanship are taught, along with proper posture, pencil holding, and paper placement. Special instructions are given to teach left-handed students. This course also gives considerable attention to quality in penmanship, which includes slant, alignment, size, proportion, line quality, and spacing.
The penmanship course in Grade 3 is composed of one workbook with 60 tear-out lessons which are divided into two units, and a 141-page teacher's manual that shows a reduced pupil's page and gives detailed teaching instructions for each lesson.
