OLD COPYBOOKS VS. WRITE FROM HISTORY

The old books–Classical Reading and Writing Copybooks–are still for sale, most of them, but I hate to link to them because they haven’t been upgraded like the new books–Write from History.

Here are the differences–

1. Write from History has a page for written summations, the copybooks don’t.
2. Write from History has 3 areas for writing the models per story, the copybooks have 4
3. Write from History has two separate models per reading selection rather than only 1. (This is because Charlotte Mason used different models for copywork and dictation. So I’m providing extra models in the appendix for those moms that follow Ms. Mason to a “T”.
4. Eventually, I will have student pages available for Write from History with different font options. (The ancients books actually are available in different fonts, right now.)
5. Write from History is cheaper because I always lower the prices during this time of year, and because it has fewer pages. The print cost at LULU increased about $4.00 per book last month.
6. The old copybooks for the beginning grammar students are still available for year 3 and year 4 in the old format. I am reworking the ancients book for the beginning grammar students right now. I’m removing the primary source documents and replacing that chapter with Aesop’s fables. More appropriate for grades 1 and 2.

The old copybooks for the upper grades are still available for year 3 in all of the fonts at the first link below. Year 4 and Year 1 for the upper grammar stage are now retitled Write from History, Level 2. The stories are all the same, but the organization, the instruction, and the grammar guide in the back are different. And those differences really make a difference. The books are more flexible and cheaper.

If anyone can’t wait for the updates and is willing to pay the 3 or 4 extra dollars for the old books, here is the link to all of my books at LULU–about 3 pages. And here is the link to the old Classical Reading and Writing site that, I believe, will still get you where you want to go.
