Sharpen your 3rd graders’ penmanship skills and teach them to write with purpose with Abeka’s Writing with Purpose 3. This book begins with various “Practical Penmanship” exercises to give students plenty of practice in the writing of words, letters, and numbers –all in ¾” spacing lines! In 2nd semester, the focus will shift from using beautiful penmanship to writing compositions creatively. From beautiful penmanship to figurative language and poetry, your child will perfect his craft of writing in appearance and content. Teach him to observe the world around him, and then write about it. Different poem forms, alliteration, metaphors, and more are several English tools that your child will be able to recognize and use. Weekly penmanship tests and supplementary writing exercises are also included in the back of the book. Available in bound and unbound versions.
