What's in the book
Lesson 142 is drills 166 and 167: the initials C P joined to the surnames Loomis, Rollins, Ryan and Runnels.
The lesson, step by step
Warm up
Two or three minutes of your usual movement drills: compact ovals, then a line each of small o, m and l.
Look at the model
Open the book page. Look at drills 166 and 167: "C P Loomis," "C P Rollins," "C P Ryan" and "C P Runnels."
Combinations first
Practice the combinations of capitals several minutes before practicing the small letters.
A full page
A few scattered lines will not meet the requirements. Write a full page.
Take turns through the four names.
Gentle check
Are the initials the same size in every name?
Finish
Write your own initials and surname in the same style.
