Copybook

Handwriting Copybook This Handwriting Copybook starts with a short resume of the programmes approach to handwriting.
The first group of 28 copy sheets are A5 sheets printed two to a page, each providing 5 lines of practice for each individual letter. A diagram indicates the direction of movement and and the pupil is invited to practice the letter shapes, at first with the help of dotted lines to follow. Three horizontal lines define the height of the letters and each page is illustrated with a small relevant drawing used to establish a sound-symbol relationships.
These are followed by 40 carefully ordered work sheets to give practice in building up joins and writing words. The first joins are i t p and the other lower case letters are added progressively. The letters already learned are listed at the top of each sheet. These always determine the practice letter combination. There are approximately 10 words to be practised on each page, sometimes with additional sentences. As the practise progresses, the words are written on a base line and the size judged by the pupil.
Seven pages provide practice in using capitals, first writing the letter with the help of dotted lines and then writing a sentence using the relevant capital as well as lower case letters. The sentences are written on lines 10mm apart. The book is wire-bound and can be used for as a teacher's manual or photocopied. A4. Wire bound. 70 pages.
