Teaching our children to read and write are probably two of the main concerns of the homeschooling beginner. Thankfully, in the Charlotte Mason method, we can find her recommendations even for teaching these two mechanical skills. <\/p>
Printing is the first phase of actually writing with pencil and paper. Here is what Miss Mason says:\u00a0<\/p>
Printing.<\/em><\/strong>\u2013\u2013But the child should have practice in printing before he begins to write. <\/em><\/p>(Vol 1 Page 234)<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>
What is printing? Printing is being able to write each letter clearly and from memory. We repeat what Miss Mason says here, that a child should have practice in printing before he\u2019s expected to write. <\/p>
Printing Step 1: Teach capital letters first. <\/h3>
First, let him print the simplest of the capital letters with single curves and straight lines. When he can make the capitals and large letters, with some firmness and decision, he might go on to the smaller letters\u2013\u2013’printed’ as in the type we call ‘italics,’ only upright,\u2013\u2013as simple as possible, and large. <\/em><\/p>(Vol 1 Page 234)\u00a0<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>
Miss Mason advises us to teach our children to write the capital letters first, since they are made up of the more simple strokes, mainly single curves and straight lines.<\/p>
For example, in teaching the letter \u201cA\u201d you might teach the child to make the following strokes first: \/ \/ \\ \\ and \u2014 \u2014. <\/p>
You might teach the letters in order from A to Z, or you may want to arrange the letters in order of difficulty of forming the strokes. <\/p>
If you prefer to teach printing the letters in order of difficulty of forming the strokes, a suggested order is as follows (suggestions mine, based on CM principles): <\/p>
Letters with all straight lines: A, L, M, T, N, I, F, H, E, V, X, Z, Y, W, K<\/p>
Letters with all curves: C, S, O<\/p>
Letters with straight lines and curves: D, P, J, U, G, Q, B, R <\/p>
The image below shows suggested strokes to teach, how the letter looks on lined paper, and suggested stroke order. You may choose to use the upright or the slanted letters based on parental preference. (Note: For a left-handed child, writing letters slanting to the right may not be feasible.)\u00a0<\/p>
