What's in the book

Lesson 78 is drill 94, the word "fulfill", with a reminder about position and movement.

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. Look at the model

    Open the book page. Look at drill 94: two lines of "fulfill."

  3. Lines of fulfill

    Four lines.

    Optional speed target: fourteen words a minute.

  4. The book's reminder

    Good movement leads to good writing; good position leads to good movement. Watch the position; watch the movement.

    Check position halfway through.

  5. Gentle check

    Count the loops in one word: six, all the same height?

  6. Finish

    Write "fulfill" once in your best writing and sign it.
