Sam,

I have never seen the "A" book, but I can tell you what is in the "K" book as I just received it yesterday. Basically each lesson is just practicing a single letter. They go through all the lower case letters first, one per lesson, and then move on to upper case...again, one letter per lesson. There is also quite a bit of tracing dots that are in the shape of the letter. Each lesson is one page of practice, and there is a coloring picture on the back of the page that starts with that letter (for example the back of the "a" page has an alligator to color).

Hope this helps a little!

Thanks Tammy.We have been trying to do the handwriting but he really struggle to complete an entire scripture verse .I think maybe we should look for K.

I agree that 'K' would be better. In handwriting practice, always err on the side of it being too easy. The important thing is to have less done better. :D

Blessings,
Carrie
