Follow Lucy inside the wardrobe while practicing your cursive! I am so excited to announce that I am creating cursive and print resources for every book in the Chronicles of Narnia series!
Learning Cursive in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a curriculum designed to give meaningful cursive handwriting practice through copywork of words and quotes from the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Skills are scaffolded upon each other, as the the child progresses from letters, to words, to quote copywork.
"It is hard for you, little one,” said Aslan. “But things never happen the same way twice.”
—C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian
I wonder if many older people praying for revival, including me, think it will look like Billy Graham: Part Two. Maybe the revival we've been praying for doesn't look like what it has looked like before.
Maybe revival isn't packed stadiums, but coming back to our first loves in home churches and small sanctuaries.
Maybe revival is the painful sifting of deeply embedded idols.
Maybe revival is a new desperate desire for the community God's family can offer.
IT IS FINALLY HERE!!! I had a lot of requests for a print version of Learning Cursive in Narnia, and I am happy to annouce it is finally ready to order on Amazon!
Writing in the Wardrobe is print handwriting workbook designed to give meaningful handwriting practice through copywork of beloved classic literature. Includes Print Alphabet Reference Chart, upper and lower case practice, Narnia related word practice and quotes from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe for copywork. This book is perfect for use in homeschool, classroom, during summer, or anytime your child needs handwriting practice.
My original Learning Cursive in Narniahas quotes from the entire Narnia series, but words and quotes in Writing in the Wardrobeare based solely on The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The words and quotes are perfect for a child just learning to write, or for any aged child who need to work on his printing skills.
Due to the success of the Learning Cursive format, which build and scaffolds on skills, I have chosen a similar format for the print workbook.
Part One-Letter Practice
The letters are in traditional print. Children train their eye as well as their hand by circling their best letter on the page. I have also created has large illustrations with arrows on how to create each letter. Each page combines repetition of tracing and copying with the meaningful words and phrases from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Part Two- Word Practice
Children learn best when their work is meaningful to them. Part Two includes words to copy that have meaning from the book, covering every letter of the alphabet.
Part Three- Quote Copywork
Part Three includes quotes from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The quotes start with easy sentences that only contain a few words, but progressively get longer as children learn.

Why I Made This is Workbook
One of my boys struggles with his handwriting. I looked all over for a cursive book that would peek his interest. I know that the best learning happens when connected to something meaningful, instead of just rote memorization.
We ordered a book themed workbook, based on another children's book series, but when I received it, I could tell it was not written by a teacher. It was fun for practice, but not good at all for learning the formation of each letter and joining letters or correcting bad habits. As a homeschooling mother with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I knew I could do better.
The workbook we created has large illustrations with arrows on how to create each letter. Each page combines repetition of tracing and copying with the meaningful words and phrases from our family's favorite subject, the world of Narnia. The skills learned are thoughtfully scaffolded, as your child progresses from letters, to joining, to words, to quotes.
The words chosen for tracing and copying are found all throughout C.S. Lewis' beloved Narnia Series, including all the letters of the alphabet. My boys helped me find many of the words, including "voyage" when I stumped for a v-word. The quotes for copywork are some of the most beloved in the novels, with many of our personal family favorites.
