Copybook, Book I

by Memoria Press Author

(From Amazon): Imitation is important in education, but so is the object of that imitation. What to write is just as important as how to write. Not only do we want our littlest ones to form beautiful letters, we want them to copy beautiful words. If the goal is to take full advantage of each precious moment in education, why waste copybook time on anything less than the best? After looking long and hard for high-quality copy books, we finally decided to create our own! Our Primary Copy Books are three-in-one wonders that include memory passages, copybook exercises, and drawing pages. Primary Copy Book teaches penmanship, basic grammar, spelling, literature, accuracy, attention to detail, and memory--all through the simple skill of copying. We have selected Scripture from the King James Bible (chosen for its poetic verse) and classic children s poems, such as those by Robert Louis Stevenson, which describe the world in charming detail. The clean, facing pages provide plenty of space for your neophyte to draw and color the glorious passages provided. In years to come, you will cherish these journals of your child s work. The series includes three books, each with more than thirty-five passages, for beginning writers in Kindergarten-2nd Grade. Each starts with slightly larger margins and decreases gradually over the three-year series. Students begin tracing, then move to copying directly under modeled words. Eventually students are asked to copy passages from the left page onto lines on the right page. Emphasizing care and accuracy, students learn how to be patient and take pleasure in getting it right. Copy Book I is the starting point for new writers (typically in Kindergarten or First Grade). Our Copy Books use simple, clean pages to provide handwriting practice.
