These materials are not compatible with the previous edition penmanship (1981-1988) or the 2nd edition reading printing practice (1985-1986).

The workbooks in this course are also included in the Grade 1 Reading set, with teaching instructions available in the Phonics Teacher's Manual that accompanies that program. These workbooks teach the strokes needed to form each letter as it is introduced in the phonics lessons. They provide much practice to develop the needed printing skills, and students also write their spelling words as part of their penmanship lessons.

This set, with its accompanying standalone teacher's manual, is recommended for those who do not plan on using the rest of the Grade 1 Reading program, or who simply want the stronger emphasis on penmanship that this teacher's book provides.
