I have a question when we think of copywork we know that it needs to be perfect.
It needs to be correct would be better to say.
So what do you do with the rest of there work? Like I have my boys do a few sentences at the end of the week telling what they learned from there Science lessons. I can’t (or should say it would be a lot to sit w/ each of them) sit with them each and watch over there sholder as they write it out. But I do go back and make corrections once they are done. So is this wrong, cause now they have already writen the wrong word? Do I find a way to sit with each of them? I mean if they don’t know a word for sure they’ll ask and I’ll tell them, but sometimes they “think” they know it and will just keep writing.
Thanks for any imput

In the initial research that I’ve done (and I want to do more!) it looks like those other writing times were not treated the same way as when copywork or dictation were being done. For example, in the written narrations samples that are included in the back of Volume 3, we find some misspelled words that were left in there on purpose for the reader (us) to see.
Based on that example, I would not sit with them and correct as they write narrations. If you want to correct afterward, that’s a different matter.
