Publisher's Description of Handwriting By George 2 (Rules 28-56)
When George Washington was sixteen years old, he began copying 110 maxims into his school notebooks. Many claim that these rules greatly influenced Washington's attitudes and standards for his own behavior.
Copy! - The ruled lines provide a fun way for beginners to practice their handwriting skills!
Draw! - Illustrating the rule not only encourages creativity but helps kids think about real life applications for each rule!
Discuss! - While many of the rules have obvious application to Washington's time, they also have lots to say to modern ladies and gentlemen. Makes a great bonus course in manners!
Each volume of Handwriting by George contains 28 entries from George Washington's noted book Rules in Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. The volumes use a D'nealian-like handwriting font for the exercises (handwriting is more of a slanted Zaner-Bloser manuscript). Each entry is printed on double-ruled paper for students to copy as penmanship practice. Opposite each handwriting page is a space for the student to depict the rule according to his or her own perspective. A great tool for a mini course in manners and penmanship practice. Rachel S.
