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 checkpoint" reports periodically at the top 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.

For added interest, this book features inspirational sayings, occasional Scripture verse and poem practice sheets, insights on wildlife and nature (inside the back flap is a colored reference print of the selected animals and plants), and a calligraphy primer.
