Handwriting Level 4 focuses primarily on cementing correct cursive letter formation and on teaching how to write cursive words and sentences with a unique colored dot system developed by Jenny Phillips. This program makes it easy for children to correctly learn cursive with little to no help from parents. Level 4 also includes print letter formation as review.

This course is divided into three sections. Each section covers new  principles with plenty of practice.

Section 1 guides the child through the formation of each letter of the alphabet in cursive. The child begins to connect letters into words by following The Good and the Beautiful cursive color dot system.
Section 2 teaches the child to write cursive words without color guides and prepares the child to write whole sentences in cursive without guides.
Section 3 teaches the child to write entire sentences in cursive while reinforcing correct print formation.

The course also includes fun, inspiring, and beautiful drawing projects throughout. The images, artwork, and words used in this handwriting course are all designed to connect children to the good and the beautiful: family, faith, high moral character, and the wonders and beauty of nature and human life.

This workbook includes 100 lessons, which is 3–4 lessons per week for a normal school year.

Recently updated to refine the cursive font and include engaging new art and activities throughout, this course mainly focuses on cursive, but some pages cover refining print handwriting in specific ways. Inspiring quotes, scriptures, and poems are included in the course and may be included more than once for repeated exposure. This course also helps children memorize grammar rules and definitions.

Handwriting Level 6 is for children in sixth grade. The course focuses on cursive writing. If children have no experience with cursive writing, they should start with the Level 3 Handwriting course, which introduces cursive writing.

As children copy adages, Bible verses, skillfully written poetry, states and capitals, grammar rules, and presidents of the United States in order of presidency (the first six), children will be learning more than just cursive handwriting.

The text size for cursive writing gets smaller as the course progresses. Also, as the course progresses, instead of just copying cursive writing, children will write original sentences in cursive and convert manuscript print to cursive writing. This will help children to memorize the formation of cursive letters.

This workbook includes 100 sheets, which is 3–4 sheets per week for an average school year.

This workbook includes 100 sheets, which is 3–4 sheets per week for an average school year.
