Handwriting Level 4 is for children in fourth grade. This course focuses primarily on cementing correct cursive letter formation and on teaching how to write cursive words and sentences using a unique colored dot system developed by Jenny Phillips. This technique makes it easy for children to correctly learn cursive with little to no help from parents. Level 4 also reviews print letter formation. If children have no experience with cursive writing, they should start with the Level 3 Handwriting course. The Good and the Beautiful handwriting courses include images, artwork, poetry, Bible verses, and quotes that support high character, faith, nature, and creativity. Drawing activities are incorporated throughout the course to make handwriting more enjoyable and increase fine motor skills. This workbook includes 100 sheets, which is 3–4 sheets per week for an average school year.

Handwriting Level 4 focuses primarily on cementing correct cursive letter formation and on teaching how to write cursive words and sentences with a unique colored dot system developed by Jenny Phillips. This program makes it easy for children to correctly learn cursive with little to no help from parents. Level 4 also includes print letter formation as review.

This course is divided into three sections. Each section covers new  principles with plenty of practice.

Section 1 guides the child through the formation of each letter of the alphabet in cursive. The child begins to connect letters into words by following The Good and the Beautiful cursive color dot system. Section 2 teaches the child to write cursive words without color guides and prepares the child to write whole sentences in cursive without guides. Section 3 teaches the child to write entire sentences in cursive while reinforcing correct print formation.

The course also includes fun, inspiring, and beautiful drawing projects throughout. The images, artwork, and words used in this handwriting course are all designed to connect children to the good and the beautiful: family, faith, high moral character, and the wonders and beauty of nature and human life.

This workbook includes 100 lessons, which is 3–4 lessons per week for a normal school year.
