Inspirational Quotes Copywork: Practice Cursive Handwriting with Inspirational Quotes from Great Leaders (Classic Copywork: Cursive)

I am so disappointed with this copybook that I have returned it. My biggest complaint regards the quality of the selections and the number of errors. Like many home educators, I use copywork with my daughter to expose her to compelling writing, to reinforce writing skills, and to practice penmanship. Therefore, I want her to copy exemplary writing that is free of errors. Sadly, this book fails on both counts.Quality of quotes: The JFK quote was a strangely abridged version of his "we choose to go to the moon" speech, rather than a direct quote, which makes me question the others as well. I was surprised at some of the quotes chosen for certain individuals; surely there are better quotes for Plato, Lincoln, the Dalai Lama? And surely there are other thinkers and orators whose words would fit better here than Will Smith, Ayn Rand, and Jack Welch?Errors: On just a cursory skim of this book, I quickly found misspelled words ("Martian" Luther King, Jr), than/then errors, verb tense incongruencies, and unnecessary capitalization of random words mid-sentence.I should add, many of the quotes were error-free, interesting, and well-written. I hate to nitpick such small details, but because this book is specifically used for copywork (the point of which is to master the details), these issues made the book unusable for me.

I am extremely pleased with this copybook. The selection of quotes is excellent. I particularly like the range of cultures and time periods, and the fact that quotes are included from women as well as men. Marie Curie is a particular favorite, and the Helen Keller and Margaret Mead quotes are great choices. The Thomas Edison quote included is one of his best, which is saying something, since Thomas Edison has so many good quotes.Overall I am delighted with this book. I was concerned about ordering it because I saw a review saying there were errors, so I checked it thoroughly, but I found no errors. All words were spelled correctly, the grammar was perfect, and all of the quotes that I recognized seemed accurate. Perhaps they have revised it.My daughter loved the first volume of this series, and she is now enjoying this one, so I'm glad I took a chance and bought it anyway.

Absolutely love these books. Even though my hand would hurt, my handwriting gets better and better every day. You can even improve your handwriting with this book.

I am using this for cursive copywork for my 5th grader. I really appreciated the diversity of quotations and the fact that there were quotations of varying length. I had been compiling quotes on my own and turning them into copywork using a worksheet generator, but this was very time consuming. This book saves me so much time!

Great copywork book. Liked the variety of quotes, and I wound up assigning specific passages that I thought would be particularly helpful to a child based on what they are working on - so it's a copywork book that also is a good supplement to a character building curriculum. Cursive handwriting practice meets book of virtues. Plus some of the quotes are very funny!

I just wish the see inside feature actually showed something besides the table of contents. Just one page, to view the cursive writing.
