BACK TO BASICS: HANDWRITING MODERN MANUSCRIPT by Frank Schaffer Publication Learning to write letters is an exciting and important task for students. It should be an enjoyable activity and one in which students experience success. The actvities presented in 'Handwriting Modern Manuscript' have been designed to help all students have fun as they learn to write the letters of the alphabet. Each letter is featured on its own page, and students are shown in steps how to write the letters. Students are then given the opportunity to trace each letter in its uppercase and lowercase form and are provided with space they can use to practice writing the letters on their own.
