"28 Great Quotes from US Presidents" Cursive Penmanship

(0)
Quotes from past inaugurations and other speeches by US presidents This penmanship book was created to affirm the importance of keeping God, prayer, and the Bible in government. It is a compilation of quotes from US presidential speeches that affirm both the necessity and the wisdom of seeking God’s guidance and providence in government and living by His Word. Students copy the quotes to practice their cursive handwriting. (We suggest copying one quote per week.) This book, which was compiled, created, and illustrated by a highly gifted homeschooled student (now graduated, with her writing published in all 3 of the What Really Happened series of books from Bramley Books) can be used for history, civics, government, handwriting, Bible, and character in your homeschool. The professional handwriting font set used in our penmanship books is used by public schools across the U.S. This book is reproducible for all students living in the same home as the book’s purchaser. Quotes About This Product The font chosen for this book is easy to copy, which I think sets the student up for a positive experience. Not only is my son seeing an immediate improvement in his writing skills, he is copying hand selected quotes from some of our nations greatest presidents - words chosen because they assert the importance of God’s word while imparting Godly wisdom. This is well done, and the fact that a 12-year-old homeschool student created it is absolutely amazing! Kathy Davis homeschoolbuzz.com

This copy book of beautiful, picturesque writing set amidst illustrations of natural beauty will delight kids from 4th grade through 12th. Full of word-picture scenes of the beautiful and interesting things a forest holds. Written by a homeschooling mother and daughter with the goal of giving students ample cursive practice of each letter in the alphabet. On its page each letter is repeated up to 42 times, but in sentences that are sensible yet charming enough kids will gladly do any page twice. Delightful text worth reading aloud as examples of alliteration, with breathtakingly beautiful coloring pages and a special section at the end of illustrated nature craft ideas to try. Here is a sampling of a sentence or 2 from over half of the delightful stories kids get to copy in this book: A - Acorns scattered across the forest floor are destined to become great oak trees… B - Birds bless the forest with their ballads, bringing the beautiful gift of song… C - The chipmunk scampers away, scattering leaves, and cheats the hawk of an afternoon snack… D - …They dine until satisfied. Then the deer detect danger. Suddenly, with a soft drum of hooves, they disappear into the woods… F - A shaft of light filters onto the forest floor through the firs. I find a frilly fern and finger its feathery leaf… L - Lacy leaves seem to laugh as they fall lightly to the forest floor… M At midnight, the mice are awake, meandering amid the many leaves and mosses… N - Blind birdlings rest contentedly in a round nest in a branch high above the ground… O - Old oak trees spread their strong boughs across the forest canopy, groping for light… P - Picture-perfect pines among the peaks line the peaceful pathway… R - The brush by the path rustles, and several rascally raccoons burst forth from amidst the branches… S - In the sunlight glistens a sparkling forest stream… V - Vivid violets quivering in the breeze thrive in their quiet place… W - Wildflowers waving in the wind, whisper in the wilderness. Wisps of yellow petals break off and wander away in the wind… This is the second book in a series of outdoors penmanship books that also includes A Backpacker’s Alphabet, about the basics of backpacking for camping enthusiasts and anyone who loves the outdoors, and Have a Wonderful Walk!, telling how to make family walks exciting and varied.

Inspire your kids during copywork time to enjoy a family walk. Through the years as we homeschooled, Joymarie took photos of our kids enjoying family walks and park time for PE. The color photos in this penmanship book span our kids’ ages from toddler to graduating teen, so kids get to see our homeschooled kids at different ages as they copy sentences about the many and varied fun things we did on family walks. This book is both an inspiration to kids to encourage them to enjoy family walks and also an inspiration and guide to parents on how to make family walks and exercise at the park (and in many other settings) enjoyable for the whole family, tots to teens. At the back of the copywork pages is a complete guide covering everything from how to avoid family quarrels and helping kids learn how to treat one another to how to photograph your own kids on family walks. Joymarie covers both the practical aspects, such as bringing along snacks, drinks and jackets, and the spiritual and inspirational side of being close to God, the Creator, on a walk. This beautiful book is an experience in joyfulness that just might change your family life. This is the third book in a series of outdoors penmanship books that also includes A Walk in the Woods, about the beauty of wildlife in a forest setting, and A Backpacker’s Alphabet, about the basics of backpacking for camping enthusiasts and anyone who loves the outdoors.

"An Elegant Floral Alphabet" Cursive to Trace and Copy

We have made handwriting practice delightful by creating beautifully illustrated pages in color with gorgeous flowers and fancy letters on each page, one for each letter of the alphabet. When your daughter (or son—many boys like this book, too!) traces or copies each sentence about yet another girl name and flower, she is taking part in completing a work of art, not just doing copy work. That makes handwriting pure delight. We start by teaching the cursive letters with dotted lines to trace, introduced in order of difficulty (the easy ones first). Throughout the book, each exercise appears in dotted letters to trace as well as in solid letters with blank lines to copy on. We also give you beautiful coloring pages to go with more than half of the exercises. You can use these as reward pages, or simply as art to go with handwriting. Plus we give you Bible verse posters, extra copy-work pages in color to use as you choose, and a flower word search puzzle at the end. Each page has a word scramble or other word game to add to the fun. Your daughter will love this book! (Many boys will be more motivated by our cursive penmanship book full of creatures that move along the ground, “Crawly Critters” Cursive Penmanship A-Z.) Sixty-three (63) usable pages of beginning cursive practice that will interest and motivate your children to do their best handwriting.
