Description
Originally discovered in a copybook kept by young George Washington, the Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior has been a popular copywork resource for homeschool families over the years, including my own. This new edition is a delightful and practical resource for homeschool families. Containing each of the 110 maxims, this workbook dedicates one page per rule. The rule is listed at the top of the page, followed by single lines to copy the rule. At the bottom of the page, students are encouraged to paraphrase the rule in their own words on the subsequent single lines. While most rules are unchanged from the original, some have modernized spelling and conventions to allow students to copy proper forms. Additional explanations or definitions are included with a few of the rules to aid understanding. A complete list of all rules is included in the back of the book. Excellent, inexpensive resource for handwriting practice. 125 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne

With this workbook format, it is easy to add copywork to the school schedule.
