Learn from Deborah Wuehler, senior editor of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, the importance of teaching our children to copy Jesus and His Word. We can never underestimate the power of the Word of God in our children’s hearts and minds. In Episode Sixty-Five of the Hey, Mama! Homeschool Show: “Copywork, Cursive, and Comprehension,” we are reminded that copying Jesus is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.
