Home-made Handwriting Book

homeschool, Homeschool Curriculum, Homeschool Methods

My 9-year-old, Chloe, must have gotten ahead of me on the cursive writing, because before I started “formally” teaching her how, she began trying it on her own. She would occasionally ask me how to make capital “T” or “J.” I wasn’t prepared with a curriculum, but I had successfully used The Learning Page’s printouts before for her printing practice, so I decided to do it again with cursive.

Similar to my Dinosaur Preschool Book, I printed out all of the pages I needed and slipped them individually into heavyweight sheet protectors. Now she can practice to her heart’s content with dry-erase markers.


And if I notice that she’s getting in a hurry in her math workbook and not writing her numbers neatly, I will have her write those over again.

Her little brother likes to use this to practice numbers, too. Or scribble.

The great part is that I can use this over and over with as many kids as I like!

    I should so print out more stuff. I need to find a good set of sheet protectors, my kids didn't like the ones I got before, too flimsy.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
