About this book

Fifteen verses about hope in the King James Version, from Jeremiah's thoughts of peace to Isaiah's wings as eagles. The book opens with the basics — pen strokes, the lowercase and capital alphabets — then gives each verse its own spread: the passage in small print to read first, two key words, one short phrase, and then every line in traceable script on four-line guides with a blank line underneath to write it yourself. Two free-practice pages sit at the back. US Letter, print at home, work through it in any order you like.

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.
