When St. Patrick was in danger of being ambushed by enemies, he sang a hymn of protection.
This song, which he had composed himself, became known as “St. Patrick’s Breastplate.”
That complete hymn has been formatted into copywork in this free product.
This copywork is designed to provide you with copy material for children at various stages of handwriting development as well as bonus features for making handwriting practice fun.
The copywork text is printed in 8 different handwriting formats.
They are:
- dotted traditional manuscript without rule lines,
- dotted traditional manuscript with primary lines,

To make copywork a more enjoyable experience, these extra features have been included:

- Suggestions for fun copywork projects.
- A list of classical music selections for children to listen to while copying the text.
