• revision and consolidation of features developed in Book 3 including correct heights of letters—ascenders and descenders, correct word-spacing, punctuation marks, conversion of print to script
• work on conventions of presentation, including awareness of margins, paragraphs, addresses on letters, postcards, layout of letters, a stylish signature
• sloped handwriting (optional)
• increasing handwriting speeds
