A Biblical Principles way to teach Handwriting? Really? Really! God and His Word are the Source of All we learn – even Handwriting.
Learning and Teaching Handwriting Biblically doesn’t mean you just use Scriptures for your Copywork. This L.E.D. Freedom & Simplicity™ Guide will help you find the Biblical foundation, principles and rudiments of Handwriting and even lead you through the application with instruction in both Manuscript and Cursive. Find Freedom & Simplicity™ in why we teach it, what we teach, and how we teach it!
Principled Handwriting instruction – From the introduction:“Who would have ever thought that there is a principled way to teach Handwriting? Not I. Oh, I know that everything comes from God, and should be taught based upon this, but I never thought I would delve into what principled teaching of Handwriting looks like. Perhaps you haven’t either. Then this study is for you. This guide does not cover the broader details relating to writing and English in general, only as applied to Handwriting.” – Teaches the foundations of Handwriting, and instruction in Manuscript and Cursive.
The only book you need to teach ALL ages – includes the foundations of Handwriting, and instruction in Manuscript and Cursive. Click for Free Sampler.

13 Types of Timelines & How to Make Them
HisStory is about Time. It’s about God working throughout time, to reveal His plan. Time shapes each event on earth into what it is. Being able to place events, ideas and lives into their correct time brings much understanding to His (God’s) Story. A timeline is a tool that helps us place those happenings.
In addition to great reasons for utilizing a timeline in your studies, there are many types of timelines, and ways you can design a timeline. In this Guidebook, I share both with you. But most of all I share with you how we have come to Freedom & Simplicity™ with Timelines. What tools are going to be the most effective and easiest to use for the task at hand, understanding the flow of all of HisStory? And how to we make them and use them?
In It’s About Time, we look at 13 different types of timelines, and directions for making and using them, and provide you with several options for timeline figures—many of them free!
This Freedom & Simplicity™ guide covers:
- The Purpose and Framework of Timelines
- The Pictorial Framework Timeline
- Timeline Figures
- The Timeline in a Book
- Journal (Notebook) Timeline Pages
- Timeline on a Board

Although we teach “all of Life”, not compartmentalized subjects, to our children; we do need to, within our own minds, for the sake of “state” and other “official” records, sort it out into “subjects”. How do we do that? Or for those new to these methods, How do we pull it together for our children in the first place? This resource primarily for working with young children.
