The Christian Liberty Handwriting series (Christian Liberty Press) consists of five books, two for traditional manuscript and three for cursive (Palmer Method), for grades K through 4. The highest level book can be used with students beyond fourth grade who need to improve their cursive. One possible problem to be aware of is that lines in the early books might be too small for young children. In all books, instructions are usually given to write a word that is only shown in typeface, but not in cursive. It would help if more models of actual handwriting were shown. In the cursive books, some fun activities are included along with exercises that work on other language skills such as alphabetizing and letter writing. Home school personalities from the past are featured in the last three books. Handwriting Practice Pads for either the lower or higher level can be purchased for $.95 each.
Titles of the books and suggested grades levels are as follows:
Level K: In the Beginning Level 1: Writing with Diligence Level 2: Writing with Prayer
Level 3: Writing with Grace
Level 4: Writing with Power
