A handwriting copybook in Sinhala, compiled by Prof. W.S. Karunathilake and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It opens a graded series of practice books intended to teach children to form Sinhala letters correctly.
The approach is straightforward: the child works through the letters in sequence, beginning with the simpler shapes that a small hand can manage and moving on to the more complex ones. The aim throughout is a complete, properly formed character rather than an approximation, with practice built around repetition of each letter in turn.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala, and the exercises assume a Sinhala-reading adult alongside the child to guide the work. For families abroad teaching Sinhala script at home, or for supplementary schools and tutors working with beginners, it is a classroom-style workbook of the kind used in Sri Lanka itself rather than a language course designed for learners coming to Sinhala from English.
