What's in the book

Lesson 55 is drill 64, a page of the word "Summit".

The lesson, step by step

  1. 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).

    Then a line of capital S.

  2. Look at the model

    Open the book page. Look at drill 64: "Summit" written four times on a line.

  3. A page of Summit

    A continuous steady movement should be used. Do not lift the pen from the beginning to the ending of the word.

    Write a page; more if there is time and the arm is still loose. Cross the t and dot the i after each word.

  4. Watch for

    Round m's and a sharp i point, all the small letters the same height.

  5. Gentle check

    Choose the best line on the page and the worst. What is different?

  6. Finish

    Write "Sunday" once in your best writing.
