What's in the book

Lesson 26 is a review of Lessons 24 and 25.

The lesson, step by step

    Three to five minutes: compact ovals (drill 3), a line of small o (drill 11) and a line of small m (drill 14). This is the book's daily opening from now on.

  2. What the book says

    Review lessons twenty-four and twenty-five.

  3. Beginning loops

    One line of the inverted-six forms and one line of the ten-part drill.

  4. M and N

    Two lines of M and two lines of N. Before each line, swing the pen over the first letter in the air.

  5. Gentle check

    Compare with the page from Lesson 25. What is better?

  6. Finish

    Write "Nina" or "Max".
