"A Walk in the Woods" Cursive Penmanship A-Z

This copy book of beautiful, picturesque writing set amidst illustrations of natural beauty will delight kids from 4th grade through 12th.

Full of word-picture scenes of the beautiful and interesting things a forest holds. Written by a homeschooling mother and daughter with the goal of giving students ample cursive practice of each letter in the alphabet. On its page each letter is repeated up to 42 times, but in sentences that are sensible yet charming enough kids will gladly do any page twice. Delightful text worth reading aloud as examples of alliteration, with breathtakingly beautiful coloring pages and a special section at the end of illustrated nature craft ideas to try.

Here is a sampling of a sentence or 2 from over half of the delightful stories kids get to copy in this book:

A - Acorns scattered across the forest floor are destined to become great oak trees…
B - Birds bless the forest with their ballads, bringing the beautiful gift of song…
C - The chipmunk scampers away, scattering leaves, and cheats the hawk of an afternoon snack…
D - …They dine until satisfied. Then the deer detect danger. Suddenly, with a soft drum of hooves, they disappear into the woods…
F - A shaft of light filters onto the forest floor through the firs. I find a frilly fern and finger its feathery leaf…
L - Lacy leaves seem to laugh as they fall lightly to the forest floor…
M At midnight, the mice are awake, meandering amid the many leaves and mosses…
N - Blind birdlings rest contentedly in a round nest in a branch high above the ground…
O - Old oak trees spread their strong boughs across the forest canopy, groping for light…
P - Picture-perfect pines among the peaks line the peaceful pathway…
R - The brush by the path rustles, and several rascally raccoons burst forth from amidst the branches…
S - In the sunlight glistens a sparkling forest stream…
V - Vivid violets quivering in the breeze thrive in their quiet place…
W - Wildflowers waving in the wind, whisper in the wilderness. Wisps of yellow petals break off and wander away in the wind…
