Free Printable Bible Verses for Handwriting and Copywork
November 2009: UPDATED WITH NEW & CORRECTED PAGES
Charlotte Mason said, “Now our objective in this most important part of education is to give the children the knowledge of God.”
Kill two proverbial birds with one stone by having your children practice handwriting with these FREE printable Bible verses in manuscript, cursive, or D’Nealian.
Below are links to the printable the pages I made for my boys from NIV. We were memorizing KJV but our church uses NIV and I found the modern language easier for the boys to understand and remember.
If you like a verse not listed here, request in the comments. I’ll try to get them for you.

Cursive, dotted, lined

D’Nealian, dotted, lines

I so appreciate the work that went into creating these handwriting and copywork pages. We are using them. I wanted to let you know that at least in the manuscript links many are broken and simply circle back to the home page. Thanks.
Comment by Amy on 24 October 2009:
Thank you so much. This is a great resource. I noticed too that some of the links are not working. Hope it can be fixed b/c I’d love to use all of these for my children.

Hello,
I have been looking for something like this, to use for handwriting, and scripture memory. I was wondering if there is a way to get these in KJV? Thanks so much!
