diaperjoys Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 What have ya'll done in regards to the largish line spacing in the WWE books? I love the "open and go" nature of the workbook, but worry a bit that the line spacing is just not appropriate for the grade. If we go with WWE it'd be for 1st and 2nd grades. Thanks!

3peasinapod Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Same thing here. :glare: I didn't even use the workbook, as the girls' handwriting was so sloppy. I ended up making a generic WWE copywork and narration pages with either a single line or narrow 3-lined pages with a place for drawing. We used them the whole year. You can find them in my blog here. :001_smile: Scroll down to the Langage Arts heading, and it is under there if you're interested. PS, the lines look colored, but they're not. They will turn out black when printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I redid the workbook pages in Startwrite with proper size for my son, and using the font that he's using at the time. The workbook lines are huge, and I especially hated using it for the narration days where I was supposed to write on those lines. I couldn't even fit a sentence in the parent section of day 4 sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamachanse Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Interesting. I love the WWE paper. I've never seen ds write more neatly. I even printed more of the same from donna young. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My kids just used them as wide lined paper, treating the dotted midline as just another line to write on. So basically for each "Line" given in the workbook they used it for two lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 You can find them in my blog here. :001_smile: Scroll down to the Langage Arts heading, and it is under there if you're interested. Thank you so much! The fourth page with primary lines and a box for an illustratin looks perfect for my dd and I can use the single-lined page for writing her narration. I've never seen ds write more neatly. My dd's handwriting is also better with primary lines than with single lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 We don't use it as a consumable, partially because each level will go through three kids. I leave the last half of the book intact and use notebook paper or whatever appropriately sized lined paper that my kids prefer to do the narration/dictation.
