Handwriting program for BEYOND?

Post by brokenopen » Fri May 21, 2010 1:48 pm

I can't find the handwriting program recommendation for Beyond listed on the website. I'm assuming it is Italic: book c, since book d is used the following year in bigger... Anyone know how to order this book through HOD? I could order it elsewhere, but would rather place as much of my order as possible through HOD!!

Thankyou!

I'm not exactly sure, because we won't start Beyond until the fall, but it looks like handwriting is covered in the copywork and spelling lists. I think maybe they are just reinforcing their printing skills and then in Bigger will move onto cursive. Hopefully, Julie or Carrie will chime in and help.

It's covered in the copywork. Unless you prefer to buy A reason for Handwriting A or B, or you could continue with the italic series. Just depends on what your child is ready for. They are copying parts of the poem each week. Bigger has Cheerful cursive for handwriting or continuing with copywork.

Yes, the handwriting in Beyond is covered through the copywork of the poetry. :D If your child still needs instruction on formation of letters, a handwriting book may be used as well. :)
