Memoria Press Copy Books

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 Copy Book time on anything less than the best?

Our Copy Books are three-in-one wonders that include memory passages, copy book exercises, and drawing pages. Copybook 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.

Copybook I is the starting point for new writers (typically in Kindergarten). It starts with slightly larger margins that decrease over the next two books. Students begin by tracing, then move to copying directly under modeled words.

Copywork provides students not only with a chance to practice their handwriting, but also to pay attention to detail, memorize verse, and learn basic grammar and spelling. Copybook II features copywork from the King James Bible as well as classic children's' poems such as those by Robert Louis Stevenson. The clear layout makes it easy for students to follow; the left-hand page features the copywork above a large space for students to draw while the right hand page features the copywork and center-dashed writing lines for students to write on. Since Memoria Press students transition to curisve in first grade, this book transitions from manuscript to cursive writing for the last three poems in the book. 120 non-reproducible pages, softcover consumable workbook; 2nd Edition.

Copywork provides students not only with a chance to practice their handwriting, but also to pay attention to detail, memorize verses, and learn basic grammar and spelling.

The clear layout makes it easy for students to follow; the Scripture to copy is at the top of the page, with college-ruled single lines below and instructions to copy the passage either once or twice. 104 non-reproducible pages, softcover consumable workbook; 2nd Edition.
