Threefold Little Reader | Grade 1
(cursive text option is being considered)
This series offers either ALL CAPS or NO CAPS books. You choose! Offering both lets families and teachers choose what best supports the child right now, while still preparing them for what comes next.
BUT WHY WOULD I CHOOSE ALL CAPS?
Steiner emphasizes that writing

comes later, out of handwriting-reading.
grows out of drawing, and that print-reading
comes later, out of handwriting-reading.
By keeping letter-work, slow, beautiful and intentional children build strong form, rhythm, and ease before moving on. This ensures that writing becomes an art (but not exactly calligraphy).
Additionally, this sequence honors the drawing to writing, and handwriting to reading. It is from this artistic foundation, new artistic ventures emerge—more refined handwriting, richer line work, and the widening world of books.
No matter your approach, the goal is the same—to protect the child’s joy and relationship to learning, so reading grows naturally out of something they have already made beautiful with their own hands and heart.
