Copywork For Children

Overview

Charlotte Mason introduced us to the concept and value of copywork
and advocated its use to help children not only to practice their
penmanship, but also learn proper sentence structure, punctuation,
new vocabulary, and grammar. Further, Dr. Ruth Beechick says that
copywork is an old and proven method...Children learn to write by
writing. The short, daily lessons provide day-to-day reinforcement of
the qualities of good writing.

This consumable Copywork for Children gets children started in this
endeavor with lines right in the book so they don’t have to look back
and forth from book to notebook to do their copywork. The specially
selected poetry, famous quotes, verses from the Bible, and passages
from quality literature focus on building their character and their
appreciation for all God’s creations. Subjects like The Golden Rule,
kindness, and perseverance are just a few of the topics covered in the
180+ lessons included here.

While this is written for grades 1-3, it can be used by a 4th grader
who has never before done copywork (as was the case in our
family). The book starts out easy and gets progressively more
challenging. And the "My Very Own Copywork" section at the end
encourages children to copy their own selections that they find
meaningful and worth of keeping.

These copywork lessons have been a blessing in our homeschool, and
I hope they will benefit yours as well.

Cover colors will vary. We have paper in parchment, marble, and granite pastel
colors available. If you like, you can specify whether you have a boy or girl, and
we'll try to send you just the right color.
