This photocopiable teachers' guide aims to make calligraphy - the art of beautiful writing- simple,enjoyable and accessible to younger students. The picture-based approach gives the instruction material a light-hearted and humorous feel. Starting with simple pen doodles and patterns, the guide progressively works through the basic alphabets of Roman Letter, Gothic, Celtic and Italic to a series of lettering projects designed to show the practical applications for beautiful writing. The scripts are reproducible by beginners from age eight years onwards.
