Handwriting Level 2 is for children in second or third grade. This course is for children with some handwriting experience who are still working on correct print formation of letters and numbers. Words, sentences, Bible verses, and poems are introduced part-way through the course. Text size is eventually reduced in the course as children gain experience with handwriting. This course also helps children learn to spell the names of colors and reviews the spelling of numbers.
