World Leaders’ Famous Quotes
Charlotte Mason developed Copywork in 3 stages ~
1. Copywork
2. Transcription
3. Dictation
Gently moving from one stage to the next as the child is ready; the child
very naturally practices beautiful handwriting, develops correct
grammar and improves spelling, increases vocabulary, and seamlessly
imitates good writing style.
Each Copywork page has 2 copies of the same quote. The first one is
written in print and the second is in cursive.
I have provided a question for additional interpretation of each quote.
