The Palmer Method of Business Writing · Lesson 46 · Part 8: w, x, v, h, y, J and I
42. Drills 49 and 50: small v and waive
Goal: Your child writes small v open at the top, ending with the dot and swing used in w, and the word "waive".
You'll need
- Wide-ruled lined paper (several sheets)
- A sharp pencil or a smooth gel pen
- The book open at today's page
What's in the book
Lesson 46 is drill 49, small v in groups of five, and drill 50, the word "waive".
The lesson, step by step
Warm up
About three minutes: compact ovals, then a line each of small o, small m and small l (drills 3, 11, 14 and 33).
Look at the model
Open the book page. Look at drill 49. Small v starts like small x and ends like small w.
Don't close this letter at the top. It must be left open.
Rows of v
Three lines in groups of five, counting 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10.
Drill 50: waive
Three lines of "waive." It has w and v next to each other, so check that both end with the little dot and swing.
Gentle check
Can every v be read as a v and not an r or u?
Finish
Write "vine" and "save".
