Copywork Transition

right now my children are doing copywork from the Queen’s books – but eventually those run out and I’d like to see them take this on as their own thing, collecting passages from their own writings.

Here’s what I am thinking of doing for my 13 yo:

Giving him copywork passages for the first few weeks of school. He’ll be doing copywork 4 days per week.

Then, preparing him to collect his own by asking him to be on the lookout for a passage a week for about 3 weeks – 3 passages.

He’ll still be doing 4 passages, but 1 of them will be one he picks out.

Then upping that to 2 passages a week for 6 weeks – 12 more passages.

I might just continue the 2 passages a week for a while (alongside the prepared copywork that he can get from another source).

Then, I’ll ask for 3 passages a week for 9 weeks and eventually move to 4 passages per week that he selects on his own.

I’d love to know thoughts. I’m thinking of getting some copywork passages from currclick.

In Him,

Christine
