What's in the book

Lesson 60 is a review of Lessons 58 and 59 and drill 76, the word "Pippin".

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).

  2. Review

    Review lessons fifty-eight and fifty-nine.

    A line of connected p and a line of capital P.

  3. Look at the model

    Open the book page. Look at drill 76: "Pippin" four times on a line eight inches long.

  4. Lines of Pippin

    Four lines.

    Optional speed target: ten to twelve words a minute.

  5. Gentle check

    Four words on each line? Are the three p loops the same length?
