Copying the Classics: McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer ZB 1-A

Copying the Classics is a series of copywork books focused on building Christian character.  Available in a wide range of penmanship styles and levels, each book draws from classic literature and related passages of scripture to develop a Christian worldview and a strong spiritual foundation while practicing printing and handwriting skills.

Copying the Classics: McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer uses The Original McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer as its literature selection.  Written in 1836 by William H. McGuffey the Primer has long been used to help young children learn to read and was reprinted with all its Christian content intact by Mott Media in 1982 (all excerpts are used with permission.)

Now young children can use selections from the Primer in their copywork lessons to reinforce the material they have just learned.  This title is available only in our 1-A level, as it is designed specifically for beginners.

This title includes:

  • 20 Lessons
  • Excerpts from The Original McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer
  • KJV Bible Verses

Our ZB 1-A level features:

  • Traditional ZB Style Manuscript
  • Large 5/8” Lines
  • Line-by-line Models
  • Pictures to Color
  • Room for Drawing

All our titles include:

  • Quick Reference Charts
  • Cover Page for Notebooking
  • Blank Templates
  • Guidelines for Use

This title is appropriate for beginners who have learned to form their letters (mastery is not required), and are working with larger letters.  One sentence, verse or line is generally presented per lesson.

20 lessons are included: one introductory and one closing (from the KJV) which focus on building character, and 18 which correspond directly to the 18 lessons of the The Original McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer laid out in an easy to copy format for young copyists.

This title does not include the full text of the Primer and is designed as a supplement.

Additional 1-A levels in our other penmanship styles for Copying the Classics: McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer will soon be available. If you need a specific font style or level that we have yet to offer, please let us know!
