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.
