Long before they master the alphabet and sentence syntax, children express themselves creatively on paper through line and color, As children mature, their imaginations often race ahead of their drawing skills. By teaching them to see complex objects combinations of simple shapes and encouraging them to develop their fine-motor skills through regular practice, they can better record the images they see so clearly in thei minds, This book contains a collection of beginning drawing lessons and text for practicing handwriting. These lessons were developed by a teacher who saw her second-grade students hecoring increasingly frustrated with their drawing efforts and disenchanted with repetitive handwriting drills For more than 30 years, Marie Hablitzel refined what eventually became a daily drawing and handwriting curriculum. Marie's premise was simple —draving and handwriting require many of the same skills. And, regular practice in a supportive environment is the Key to helping children develop Bock One: Bock Two Book Three Bock Four’ Bock Fiver Book Six Book Eight Coauihers Marie Habltze!

As a classroom teacher, Marie intertwined her daily dravring and handwriting lessons with math, science, social studies, geography, reading and creative writing, She wove an educational tapestry that hundreds of children have found challenging, motivating — and fun! Although Marie is now retired, her drawing and handwriting lessons continue to be used in the classroom. With the assistance of her daughter, Kim Stitzer, Marie shares more than 150 of her lessons in the eight-volume PraweWritesNow® series, In DrawsbritesNow®, Rook One, children explore life on a farm, kids and critters and storybook characters, Rooks Tivo through Six feature topics as diverse as Christopher Columbus, the weather, Native Americans, the polar regions, young Abraham Lincoln, beaver ponds and life in the sea, In DraweWritesNow, Books Seven and Eight, children circle the globe while learning about animals of the world.

This is a book for children and their parents, teachers and caregivers, Although most young people can complete the lessons in this book quite success- fully on their oven, a little help and encouragement from a caring adult can go a long way toward building ‘child's self-confidence, creativity and technical skills. Busy Beavers by Natalie Perry. oge 8 ‘rom DrawsWritesNou:, Bak Six ‘The following outline contains insights from the 30-plus years the authors have worked with the ‘material in this bool. Realizing that no two children or classrooms are alike, the authors encourage you to modify these lessons to best suit the needs of your child or classroom, Each DraweWriteeNow® lesson includes five parts: J. Introduce the subject. Draw the subject. Draw the background. 4. Practice handwriting. 5. Color the drawing. As presented here, each child will need a peneil, an eraser, drawing paper, penmanship paper and either crayons, color pencils or felt tip markers to complete a lesson. 1. Introduce the Subject Begin the lesson by generating interest in the subject with a story, discussion, poem, photograph or song. The questions on the illustrated notes scattered throughout this book are examples of how interest can be built along a elated theme. Answers to these questions and the titles of several theme-related books are on pages 22, 48 and 62. 2. Draw the Subject Have the children draw with a pencil. Encourage them to draw lightly because some lines (shown as dashed lines on the drawing lessons) will need to be erased. Point out the shapes and lines in the subject as the children work through the lesson. Help the children see that complex objects can be viewed as combinations of lines and simple shapes. Help the children be successful! Show them how to position the first step on their papers in an appropri- ate size. Initially, the children mey find some shapes difficult to draw. If they do, provide a pattern for them to trace, or draw the first step for them. Once they fine-tune their skills and build their self-confidence, their ability and creativity will take over, For lesson specific drawing tips and suggestions, refer to Teach- ing Tips on pages 63-64. 3. Draw the Background Encourage the children to express their creativity and imagination in the backgrounds they add to their pictures. Add to their creative libraries hy dermonstrat- ing various ways to draw trees, horizons and other details. Point out background details in the drawings in this book, illustrations from other books, photo- raphs and works of art Encourage the children to draw their world by looking for basic shapes and lines in the things they’ see around them. Ask them to draw from their imaginations by using their developing skills. For additional ideas on motivating children to draw creatively, see pages 20-21, 46-47 and 60-61. 4, Practice Handwriting In place of drills — rows of e's, rs and so on often useful and more motivating to have children ‘write complete sentences when practicing their handwriting. When the focus is on handwriting — rather than spelling or vocabulary enrichment — use itissimple words that the children can easily read and spell. Begin by writing each word with the children, demonstrating how individual letters are formed and stressing proper spacing. Start slowly. One or two sentences may be challleng- ing enough in the beginning, Once the children are consistently forming their letters correctly, encourage them to work at their own pace. There are many ways to adapt these lessons for use with your child or classroom. For example, you may want to replace the authors’ text with your own words. You may want to let the children compose sentences to describe their drawings or answer the theme-related ‘Pueblo Village by A Garrett, age 7 questions found throughout the book. You may iteXous", Book Thrce prefer to replace the block alphabet used in this. book with a cursive, D'Nealian® or other alphabet style. If you are unfamiliar with the various alphabet styles used for teaching handwriting, consult your local library. A local elementary schoo! may also be able to recommend an appropriate alphabet style and related resource materials. 5. Color the Picture Children enjoy coloring their own drawings. The beautiful colors, however, often cover the details they have so earefully drawn in pencil. To preserve their efforts, you may want to have the children trace their pencil lines with black crayons or fine-tipped felt markers. (Crayons—When coloring with crayons, have the children outline their drawings with a black crayon aiter they have colored their pictures (the black crayon may smear if they do their outlining first) Color Pencils—When coloring with color pencils, have the children outline their drawings with a felt tip marker before they color their drawings. Felt Tip Markers—When coloring with felt tip markers, have the children outline their drawings with a black marker after they have colored their pictures Your comments are anpreciaied!
