Illuminated Letters

In the Middle Ages books were all made by hand.
Books were hand written - not printed.
Religious books were the most common and many of these were copied out by monks.

Many people could not read and books were very valuable items.


Illuminated letters were used as a special decoration in books to add importance and interest.


Read and discover information about the meaning and purpose of illuminated letters.

Respect is as simple as a friendly smile.

When you respect people they show respect back.

Respect is letting other people have their own ideas and not telling them that they are wrong.

When you are patient and wait your turn you are showing respect to others.
