About this printable
The briefest poem in the collection and a perfect low-pressure warm-up for reluctant writers. Its circular structure repeats the opening couplet at the end, so students copy the same two lines twice and can see their own improvement immediately. Fits neatly on a single page with room for wide practice lines. 9 pages, 3/8-inch letters in Chaloops display on dashed manuscript lines. Sheets included: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only. Oliver Herford, 1913. Public domain text.
