 A good, traditional handwriting program June 18, 2007

I am using A Reason for Handwriting K with my 4 year old daughter. It is working pretty well for us. It is a traditional, "ball and stick" type of handwriting program.
The workbook starts off with a short introduction to basic pencil strokes - circles, diagonal lines, etc. It then introduces the beginning writer to proper way to write the different letters of the alphabet, both upper and lower-case. It uses the concept of a treehouse to teach children how big or little to make the letter (ie. a capital "D" touches the roof of the treehouse, while a lower-case "a" does not).
Unlike the other workbooks in this series, this one does not have the children copying scriptures. Instruction is limited to writing the letters. One of the best features of this workbook are the coloring pages. As each letter is introduced, there is a corresponding picture of an animal or object that begins with that letter of the alphabet. My daughter enjoys coloring the pictures, and it is good motivation for her to try her best.
I do recommend this book. We have found it pretty easy to use, although probably helps that my daughter has about a year of previous handwriting practice. If your child gets easily frustrated, you might want to look into the Handwriting Without Tears series instead. This one is working for us and I like the emphasis on scripture that is found in the more advanced workbooks.

This is a fun book for my daughter. Her brother likes his Level A book, and she feels grown up doing handwriting practice alongside of him. The graphics are attractive and motivating for her.
Excellent tool for youngsters learning to write. June 23, 2008

My kids love this book, my 5 year old is looking forward to doing it a second time. It is perfect for pre-K and Kindergarten. Not too much for one sitting, and a coloring page on the back. We use this as our special coloring page to try our hardest to stay in the lines and be as neat as possible, which is really the whole idea of handwriting as well.
Fun June 22, 2010

This handwriting book was fun for my daughter. There is plenty of room for practice and a picture to go along with each letter being learned. Not only did she learn how to write her letters correctly we also learned a little about each animal that was pictured.
