Copybooks

The main task of the manual is to teach schoolchildren to write beautifully and to improve their handwriting. The book is based on a neuropsychological approach: alongside the task of mastering Russian graphics, exercises for developing fine motor skills, attention, and the visual image of letters and words are also included. The manual is divided into three parts. The first part enhances the skill of writing capital letters. The second part offers practice in writing lowercase letters, the designs of which are based on hooks and sticks. The third part is focused on lowercase letters that consist of circles and loops. The order of performing tasks is extremely important, as before starting to automate the writing skill of each group of letters, it is suggested to activate motor functions, recreate the visual image of similar letters while concentrating on their differences, then write the graphic elements of each character and grasp the features of joining this letter with others. In addition, the copybooks also include individual words and cohesive texts, which, when traced, can achieve calligraphic perfection. The final task for each group in the second and third parts is repeated - this will allow observation of how handwriting improves from page to page. It is addressed to younger schoolchildren and parents.
