About this book

Fifteen of the psalms people half-remember — the shepherd, the lamp unto my feet, this is the day, fearfully and wonderfully made — in the King James Version. Copying a line is slower than reading it, which is rather the point. Every psalm gets its own spread: the verse in small print to read first, two key words, one short phrase, then the whole thing in traceable script on four-line guides, with a blank line under each row for your own hand. The alphabet and stroke pages at the front assume you have never done this before.

What you will write

15 passages, KJV and public domain. Each one gets key words, a phrase, and then the whole passage line by line.
