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.
