what to use for copywork??

I’ve never bought anything to use for copywork. I either write out Bible verses or nursery rhymes. However, if you’d rather have something premade, check out Currclick.com. They have tons of copywork, some free, some for purchase. But all of it is in electronic download form.

There are also these sites:

I have never bought formal copywork materials. I simply carefully write out a word or sentence in the beginning for them to copy. Then when they’ve become “fluent” and can basically write all their letters on their own well and without help, They pick a book, I open it up and find a sentence for them to copy. I do the same when I’m teaching them cursive. They like to pick the book! But I reserve the right to pick the sentence so I can choose one that has things that they need practice on.

We use bible verses, poetry (short poems or 1 verse at a time), hymns (part or all of 1 verse depending on the length) nursery rhymes, character qualities & a line or two from our current Literature pick.  Eventually I will include longer passages from books and longer poems.  I have her do it all in a composition book so papers don’t get lost and it’s really easy to see progression that way too.  🙂
