Tracing the Word 

 Engaging Scripture Through the Physical Act of Writing

Overview

In homeschool and family learning environments, meaningful handwriting practice and Scripture study are often taught separately. Tracing the Word brings them together—combining Bible reading, handwriting practice, and attentive study into a single, Scripture-centered activity.

Each volume presents the complete King James Version (KJV) Scripture text in a traceable format, encouraging careful attention to every word. Whether used for personal devotion, family study, or homeschool learning, the series is designed to help readers slow down, reflect, and remain rooted in the full context of Scripture.

Rather than isolating verses or excerpts, Tracing the Word moves through Scripture chapter by chapter and book by book, allowing the reader to experience the Bible as a unified whole.

How Tracing the Word Fits Into Homeschool Learning

Tracing the Word fits easily into daily homeschool rhythms because it combines handwriting practice with Scripture reading in a consistent, repeatable format. Students can work independently, parents can assign by chapter, and families can progress at a pace that fits their schedule.

  • The full KJV Scripture text is presented for tracing

  • Letters are rendered in a dotted format for guided writing

  • Scripture is arranged sequentially, preserving narrative flow and context

  • Readers trace directly over the text, reinforcing attention and retention

Tracing requires time, focus, and deliberate movement—making it a natural companion to devotional reading, memorization, and thoughtful study.

Designed for Flexible and Reusable Use

Each Tracing the Word volume is intentionally produced for active, repeatable use:

  • Perforated pages allow chapters to be removed cleanly when desired

  • Every chapter begins on a new right-hand page, ensuring chapters can stand alone without disrupting adjacent text

  • Pages are reproducible for homeschool and family use, making the series suitable for shared learning environments

  • Purchasers of physical copies receive access to a downloadable PDF edition, allowing chapters to be reused without removing pages from the printed book

Together, these features make Tracing the Word a practical and durable Scripture engagement resource—whether used by an individual, a family, or a classroom.

What's Included in the Tracing the Word Series

Tracing the Word is organized into volumes that cover specific portions of Scripture. Each book presents the complete biblical text for the included books, arranged sequentially and without abridgment.

Volumes are available in both manuscript (print) and cursive formats.

Families may use a volume in a variety of ways—working straight through, assigning one chapter at a time, or selecting portions that match a student’s learning pace.

Every volume includes:

  • Full KJV Scripture text for the included books

  • Chapters that begin on new right-hand pages

  • Perforated pages for optional removal

  • Reproducibility for homeschool and family use

  • Access to a downloadable PDF edition with physical purchase

Volumes may be used individually, assigned by chapter, or combined to form a longer-term Scripture and handwriting study. Families may choose volumes based on biblical books, writing style, or learning pace.

Why Homeschool Families Choose Tracing the Word

Homeschool families choose Tracing the Word because it:

  • Combines Bible study and handwriting into one resource

  • Preserves full Scripture context rather than isolated excerpts

  • Supports multiple grade levels with the same material

  • Allows legal reuse within the family or classroom

  • Encourages independent, focused work

Whether used daily or as part of a rotating curriculum, Tracing the Word provides meaningful, Scripture-centered learning that grows with the student.

Handwriting Formats Available

Tracing the Word is available in two handwriting formats:

  • Manuscript (Print)

    Clear, deliberate letterforms that support careful reading and letter recognition.

  • Cursive

    Flowing, connected letterforms that encourage rhythm and continuity while tracing Scripture.

Both formats contain the same complete Scripture text. The difference lies not in what is read, but in how the reader physically engages the words on the page.

Who This Series Is For

Tracing the Word is well suited for:

  • Personal devotional practice

  • Family Bible study

  • Homeschool and Christian education

  • Children developing fine motor skills through meaningful content

  • Teens and adults seeking a slower, more reflective way to read Scripture

No prior experience is required—only a willingness to slow down, trace the words, and remain attentive to the text.
