This Teacher Help has been a looooooong time in the making! After reading Charlotte Mason’s criteria for a handwriting program, and then gleefully finding the plates online for A New Handwriting that she described in Home Education, we embarked on teaching this handwriting style to our young students. For many teachers, however, it is very difficult to translate the 10 lettered plates into actual lessons, let alone figure out how best to form the letters. We are so pleased to be able to offer a comprehensive guide to teaching A New Handwriting with simple instructions, colored plates that show how to form each stroke and letter, along with suggested pacing for how much to cover in a term.

The material in this guide can take two school years to complete…or more, depending on the pace with which your student masters the forms. The guide is 117 pages long. Please see samples below:
