Copywork for McGuffey's First Reader (1879 Edition)

Each of the pages in this copywork book correlates to a lesson in McGuffey's Eclectic First Reader (1879 Edition). Each page has sentences from the particular lesson typed clearly for your young reader/writer to easily follow and ruled lines directly underneath for easy copying. This copywork is designed with young writers in mind. The space for their printing is 3/8in. The lines have a dashed mid-line to help your child place his letters correctly. In a few places throughout the book there are pages with only blank lines. These pages are to go along with the review lessons in the reader. Either read a sentence to your child and have them write it (this is called dictation) or show your child one word at a time, have them study it and then write it without looking at it (this is called transcription, a bridge between copywork and dictation). If you are using this e-book independently from McGuffey's reader, you can skip these pages. Copywork is a fantastic way to help your child master reading, penmanship, grammar, and spelling all at the same time, simply and subtly. I know you and your child will enjoy using this book together!
