My daughter is doing a project on education during Colonial times. We couldn’t find hornbook printables, so I decided to draw and create my own. You can choose from the Hornbook Printable Replica, Hornbook Lined Template, Hornbook Blank Template, or Hornbook Lesson. The lesson is sized so that it can be cut out and pasted onto the blank template, if desired.
There are four 1-page PDFs: a hornbook replica with the alphabet, vowels, syllables, and the Lord’s Prayer; the same lesson sized to cut out; a lined hornbook template; and a blank hornbook template.
Ways to use it
Use the replica in a unit on school in colonial times.
Glue the lesson onto the blank template.
Have students write the alphabet on the lined template.
Mount the hornbook on cardboard and add a string.
Compare the hornbook with what students use in school today.
Display finished hornbooks with a colonial history project.
