Students are doing copywork, but are also being exposed to exceptional wise words that follow the patriotic theme. Within each lesson, there are famous quotes and Bible verses. It also provides a side-by-side view of how the different types of writing look and are the same and different. I love this, because it gives a real visual on how each letter should be formed.

In the Laurelwood Books Patriotic Penmanship series, they do manuscript through 2nd grade and then begin with cursive in 3rd. This series has these workbooks available at different levels, from kindergarten manuscript all the way up to high school cursive. After much debate, we chose the Patriotic Penmanship Transition (manuscript to cursive) book from the Patriotic Penmanship series. Our family had the opportunity to choose a resource from Laurelwood Books to review.
