Tracing is a valuable step in handwriting practice. Not only do kids learn how each letter is formed, but by tracing sentences they gain an understanding of how letters are put together to form words. They learn the role of spacing between words, and of managing the arrangement of various letters next to each other. Instead of tracing meaningless words and sentences, why not instill character building concepts while kids develop their handwriting skills? The Book of Proverbs contains ageless words of wisdom that form the essence of how we can achieve a life pleasing to God. In Proverbs To Live By the author has selected 100 of the most thought provoking Proverbs that speak to the basic soul-shaping aspects of character, such as self-control, self-image, pride, wisdom, language, the tongue, friendship, honesty, productivity, conflict, accountability, purity, and more. This particular volume focuses on the traditional manuscript block printing style of handwriting. A volume in cursive is also available.
