Here's what we are concentrating on: Implementing dipping pens and permanent inks into copywork books! Am I crazy?? YES! Boys love this idea...they flipped through history books trying to find photos of Historical figures using quills!! And are asking when can we start? The first link below has enough info to convince you to give this a try! Benefits: 1. Forces child to pay attention and slow down to handwriting. 2. Does not cramp child's hands...Dipping pens do not need the PRESSURE to write. 3. It's just FUN! Boys know it's special ...they want to create special work!
This isn't expensive to get started: We bought a Speedball basic alphabet pamphlet and a calligraphy pen set and ink for under $10...
LINKS OF INFO on Dipping Pens>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
www.hopechestlegacy.com bought her real quill pen and nib set to use for copywork. Her discounted price and high shipping even out enough to justify the purchase. She has a really neat website with lots of free info on getting started and other subjects besides dipping pens...free hope chest designs, free hymn histories, free tea time recipes etc...
