Integrated Manuscript
Each lowercase letter lesson consists of one page
without lines to encourage large hand motor
movements. A second page with lines develops
fine hand motor movements. As each new letter is
introduced, students have 40 motor plan practice
opportunities. Students trace 1) pictures, 2) letters
embedded with arrows, which correspond to verbiage,
and 3) the letter itself. Next they copy pictures and
letters. Finally students draw the picture (cat), form a
legible letter (c), and commit the sound /k/ to paper,
forming a sound-symbol correspondence.

that has been traced. Students are expected to trace 8 letters on red lines. Teacher demonstrates and says: See the first bat and ball letter. Next to it is a red bat and ball letter that
has been traced. With my pencil, I am going to trace this letter. Watch. I put my pencil
on the top line…Verbalize Motor Plan. Pick up your pencil. Start the next red bat and ball
letter on the top line. Trace each letter, keeping your pencil on the red line. Be sure to

Sunform’s approach, coined “Neurological Integration”,
continues to use visual images to stimulate correct
letter sounds, sound-symbol correspondence and motor
movements for writing, but then expands this process
to decoding and encoding phonetic words for reading/
writing/spelling.

t Phonemic Awareness - /k/ sound is segmented/
Students are expected to correctly form letters d, u, j, r, n, m, p, l, t
and b and place them on lined paper. At the top of your paper is
Row 5. Find midspace and write this letter: “d”. Remember to
finger space. On the dotted line, write these letters: “u”, “j”, “r”,
“n”, “m” and “p”. Finger space. Find the top line and write the
letters “l”, “t”, and “b”. Monitor that students are beginning all letters at the correct place. Repeat Motor Plan as necessary.
Row 6: Trace and copy new words
Students are expected to correctly trace and copy the words job,
bud, and tab. In Row 6, there are three words. Some of the letters begin at midspace, some begin on the dotted line and some
begin on the top line. Put your pencil on the dotted line; trace
job. Below the word job, start the letter “j” on the dotted line,
the letter “o” at midspace and the “b” on the top line. Copy job.
Repeat Motor Plan as necessary. Put your pencil on the top line;
trace bud. Start the /b/ on the top line and copy bud below. The
last word is tab. Starting on the top line for /t/, trace and copy
the word tab below. Repeat Motor Plan as necessary.
Row 7: Writing words from teacher dictation
Students are expected to correctly form letters and spell 3-letter
words from dictation. Look at Row 7. Listen carefully to the word
I say and write each sound you hear. Some of the letters begin
at midspace, some begin on the dotted line and some on the
top line. Ready. The first word is bib. /b/i/b/. Write bib. Repeat the
sounds and/or word again if necessary. The second word is bun.
/b/u/n/. Remember to finger space. Repeat the sounds and/or word
again if necessary. The third word is cob…/c/o/b/. Finger space.
The last word is rub. Write /r/u/b/. Discuss word meanings.
Row 8: Writing the dictated word(s) in the sentence(s)
Students are expected to correctly form letters, spell 3-letter words
from dictation and place them within a sentence. Look at Row 8.
There is a sentence with two missing words. Listen while I read
the sentence and tell you the missing words. Can I get a pet? The
sentence says, “Can I ___ a ___?” The sentence should say, “Can
I get a pet?”. Next to the word I, write the word “get”. Can I
get. Write the last word “pet”. Can I get a pet? Remember that a
sentence needs an ending. The ending is a question mark. The
last sentence is missing three words. It says, “I want a ___ ___
___. The sentence should say, “I want a tan lab pup.” The sentence should say, “I want a tan lab pup.” First write /t/a/n/. Did you
write the word tan? Finger space. Now write “lab”…/l/a/b/. Now
finish the sentence. “I want a tan lab pup.” Did you write pup? Did
you remember to put a period at the end of your sentence?

Row 9: Write the names of classmates that contain m or M.
Row 9: Teacher asks students to identify classmates with m or M in their
names, or teacher dictates names such as “Martha”, “Mimi”, “Matt”.
Students write the identified names using Upper and lowercase letters
correctly on lines.
Row 1: Trace each red lowercase m and Uppercase M
See the model red traced lowercase m. With my pencil, I am going to trace
this lowercase m starting on the dotted line…Verbalize Motor Plan. Next to
it is the red traced Uppercase M. I am going to trace Uppercase M starting
on the top line… Verbalize Motor Plan. Now you trace each red lowercase m
starting on the dotted line and each Uppercase M starting on the top line.
Row 10: Write homophones beginning with m.
Row 10: Teacher reviews homophones as words which are pronounced the
same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Examples:
mind-mined. Teacher teaches “mind” as in “Mind your manners”. Teacher
teaches “mined”, as in “The mountain was mined for gold”.
Row 2: Copy m starting on dotted line and M starting on top line
See the black copied lowercase m. It starts on the dotted line…Verbalize
Motor Plan. Next to it is the black copied Uppercase M. It starts on the
top line…Verbalize Motor Plan. Now copy lowercase m starting at the
green dot on the dotted line. Next to it, copy Uppercase M starting at the
green dot on the top line.
In this lesson, teacher teaches “mail” as in what the postman delivers, and
the meaning of “male”, the opposite of female. The teacher says: Write the
word “mail” as in “I received a birthday card in the mail.” Write “male”
as in “The choir was all male.” The teacher teaches students the meaning
of the word “meet” (connect with someone) and the meaning of “meat” (the
edible part of an animal or nut). The teacher says: Write the word “meet” as
in “Let’s meet your dad at the park.” Write “meat” as in “You can buy
meat at the grocery store.”
Row 3: Write m starting on dotted line and M starting on top line
The black copied lowercase m starts on the dotted line. Next to it is the
black copied Uppercase M. It starts on the top line. On the lines, write
lowercase m starting on the dotted line. Write Uppercase M starting
on the top line. Continue writing lowercase m followed by Uppercase
M across the row. Refer to the back of the Sunform Device or the Sunform
Manual, pages 84-85, to identify lowercase errors and remediate problems,
and to the Uppercase Manuscript Manual, Lesson 20, letter M, to check
accuracy of Motor Plan implementation.

Lesson Introduction:Teacher says: You have learned to write the names of people, using
Uppercase letters. Now, you are ready to learn how to write the names and titles of
people in your family, or your relatives, such as your mother, father, brother, sister and so
forth, using Uppercase letters correctly. Oral Exercise: Teacher says: All of us have titles
in our families. How many of you have the title ‘brother’? ‘sister’? ‘son’? ‘daughter’?
‘grandson’?‘granddaughter’?‘cousin’?‘aunt’?‘uncle’?Let’sseewhentouseUppercase
letters when writing family titles. On the Board: Teacher writes:
Title + Name = Uppercase
Grandpa Fred
Say hello to our Grandpa Fred.
Title by itself = Upercase
Grandpa
Say hello to Grandpa.
Possessive + Title = Lowercase
our grandpa
Say hello to our grandpa.
/HWҋVORRNLQER[,IZHZULWHDWLWOH´*UDQGSDµZLWKWKHÀUVWRUODVWQDPHRIDSHUVRQ
(“Fred” or “Smith”), we use Uppercase letters to start both the title and the name. Look in
box 2. If the title (“Grandpa” ) is used all by itself with no name and no word, like “our” or
“my”, then we start the title “Grandpa” with an Uppercase letter. Now, look in box 3. If we
are talking about whose “Grandpa” it is, we may write another word, like “our” or “my” in
front of a title (“grandpa”), without the name “Fred”. Then we write both the word “our”
and the title “grandpa” in lowercase letters.
Item # 1-931766-28-2
Price: $69.00
Go back and look at box 1. Let’s read the sentence together. “Say hello to our Grandpa
Fred.” Because the title “Grandpa” is next to the name “Fred”, “Grandpa” becomes part
ofthename,andmuststartwithanUppercaseletter(‘G’).Let’sreadthesecondsentence
together: “Say hello to Grandpa.” The words “our” or “my” and the name “Fred” is not
included. The title ,“Grandpa”, stands alone and starts with an Uppercase letter. Now
let’s read the third sentence together: “Say hello to our grandpa.” In this case the title
“grandpa” has the word “our” in front of it and there is no name following the title, so we
use lowercase letters to start the words “our” and “grandpa”.
Step 1: Identify family titles and names in context.
Teacher says: 2Q\RXUZRUNVKHHWÀQGStep 1. In the sentences below, circle words, such
as “my”, “our”, “his”, “your”, followed by family titles, such as “mother”, “brother”,
“father”, and proper names, such as “Fred”.
Step 2: Write possessives, family titles and names in context using Uppercase letters
correctly.
Teacher says: FindStep 2 on your worksheet. Rewrite the words that you have circled on
