If you want your children to have beautiful handwriting, then they need to practice! However, so many handwriting copybooks offer boring, worn-out sayings that do not interest most children today! How about combining your children's interests and studies into their handwriting drills to make them fun and exciting? Master Writer Copybooks are just the answer!

Like our Happy Scribe Copybooks, these books are interesting and exciting. For an older child, these books reflect the great thoughts of famous and important people like Presidents, Authors, Saints, Artists, Philosophers and more. Great to work into your historical studies and use as conversation starters... these are some of mankind's greatest thinkers and now you'll be able to help tuck away these profound quotations into the hearts and minds of your own children through handwriting practice.

Each copybook has twenty sayings, presented in three different common handwriting fonts: Classic Block Printing, D'Nealian Italic and Cursive. We have based these exercises on twenty day blocks, representing four weeks of five days, for one month of exercises. There are basic alphabets and number pages for extra drill pages as well as a blank page to print for your own exercises, if you so please.

Each quotation is printed once dark, and room for practice. On the second page, it's printed dotted and grayed with room to practice. It's a proven fact, that when presented with several blank lines to practice on, student's work tends to degrade quickly. However, when there is another faint reminder quote line, they will see much more consistent results in the quality of their handwriting.

There are 19 Copybooks in this Combo File... and nbsp;a great deal, over 2,000 handwriting sheets for your children! and nbsp;

Each book is over 130 pages long, with 3 different type faces, practice alphabet pages and blank pages. too! and nbsp;And there are 19 books in this collection!! and nbsp;

Print the sheets you need NOW, for as many children as you have. Keep everyone on the same sayings yet at different levels of handwriting ability. You can even combine a sort of unit study to the books... discuss the quotation with your children! !

Your children will love the Master Writer Copybooks! and nbsp;
