Poems Every Child Should Know in Cursive: Poem and D'Nealian Cursive Copywork Book, Part 1

A D'Nealian Cursive copywork book with Thirty-two original poems by various authors from Poems Every Child Should Know, Part I, edited by Mary E. Burt. Each lesson includes the original poem to read followed by the poem in D'Nealian cursive with practice lines for handwriting practice. Secure that the child begins by making perfect letters and is never allowed to make faulty ones, and the rest he will do for himself; as for ‘a good hand, ’ do not hurry him; his ‘handwriting’ will come by-and-by… Set good copies before him, and see that he imitates his model dutifully: the writing lesson being not so many lines, or ‘a copy’–that is, a page of writing–but a single line which is as exactly as possible a copy of the characters set. The child may have to write several lines before he succeeds in producing this. -Charlotte Mason
