This course is designed to teach cursive handwriting skills with a minimum of teacher supervision. However, it is necessary for teachers to watch the students' progress carefully. This book includes "teacher check" reports periodically at the bottom of the page.

The poem sheets are designed for students to color and remove, using them as mottoes, or putting them in a folder for a keepsake.

There are two practice sheet pages at the back of the book that may be removed and copied for students who need extra practice.

The fold-out sheet with slant lines at the back of the book may be tucked under the pages on the right hand side of the book as a guide to proper slant.

This book is intended to provide necessary writing skills with reminders of good manners and proper behavior and rules of good health and safety.

For added interest, this book features inspirational quotes from Scriptures and sayings, occasional poem practice sheets, and caricatured animal "Pentime Pals" that offer encouragement and advice on handwriting, health, and manners.
