The Writing Our Catholic Faith program for grades PreK-8 seamlessly blends grade-specific Catholic curriculum with handwriting instruction, leading students on an engaging, age-appropriate path from writing readiness to mastery. Through Catholic-themed words, sentences, and illustrations, students strengthen their handwriting skills while deepening their understanding of their faith. The program emphasizes proper letter formation, consistency, and fluidity.
Writing Our Catholic Faith: Beginning Manuscript Writing for Kindergarten builds on previously learned skills to help students continue to develop manuscript handwriting:
- Students trace and write manuscript basic strokes, uppercase and lowercase letters, and numerals
- Traceable words and sentences reinforce proper letter formation, letter and word spacing, and Catholic lessons
- Beautiful Catholic pictures and fun activities keep students engaged in each lesson
