BJU Press Grade 2 Handwriting

Good handwriting is essential for clear communication. Help your child develop good handwriting with the Handwriting 2 educational materials from BJU Press. Handwriting 2 teaches students the precursive alphabet as well as the cursive alphabet and provides fun activities to strengthen fine motor skills and capture the interest of your child.

This easy-to-use Teacher’s Guide includes reduced student pages with step-by-step guidance for teaching cursive to 2^nd graders across 120 lessons. Colorful pages are beautifully organized and spiral-bound to lay perfectly flat when open and in use. Each lesson lists out any materials & preparation needed, followed by the lesson introduction, skill development, guided practice, and optional activities. The “Teaching Handwriting” section at the beginning of the book provides a good understanding of handwriting objectives, evaluation, and position/posture/seating/pencil grip information, as well as encouragement for proper letter formation, alignment, slant, spacing, neatness, and rhythm. For easy reference, the “Stroke Descriptions” section at the front of the book shows each preCursive and cursive letter with a short (but detailed) description for teaching that specific letter. The appendix includes reproducibles for activities, blank handwriting paper, an evaluation rubric, and the “Handwriting Song.” More digital teaching resources are available in the BJU Homeschool Hub. 141 pgs. with reinforced front softcover and hard back cover.
