New American Cursive Penmanship Program

✨ Looking to strengthen handwriting AND feed the mind with wisdom? ✨

This workbook adds extra practice to the NAC program and helps students become more confident, skillful writers. Each page combines Scripture handwriting with truth, character, and wisdom—engraving God’s Word not just on paper, but in the heart. 🖊️📖

Why Scripture handwriting?
Because writing truth helps us remember truth. As Psalm 51:6 says, “Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts…” Writing Scripture nurtures understanding, good judgment, and moral strength.

Perfect for:
✔️ Homeschool families
✔️ Classrooms
✔️ Teens & adults wanting to refine cursive
✔️ Anyone who loves Scripture-based learning

📚✨ If you’re looking for a meaningful, skill-building practice, this is a wonderful choice!

Cursive is coming back!

Cursive Handwriting Returns to Kentucky Classrooms This Fall Cursive handwriting instruction will return to classrooms across Kentucky at the start of the 2025-2026 school year.

New American CursiveⓇ Penmanship Contest for 2024 is fast approaching.
April 10 is the absolute last postmark date for mailing.
As we announced last year, the contest has been changed to include only grades one through three. We suggest holding an in-house contest for other grades, judged by students and teachers.

Here is a link to an excellent research article:
