radiobrain Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I am specifically looking for a good, preferably free, source for finding some copywork. I have boys, 10 & 9. I have really been slow to start the writing thing, but am now seeing the need to incorporate some copywork. I would LOVE a site where I can just print some stuff off. I would also prefer it being from real literature, and not religious in nature. I like to keep our education and spirituality separate.:) If this is an impossibility, I would also welcome any ideas for how to go about this on my own. I would prefer something I can just plunk down in front of them, instead of having to type out. I spend too much time in front of this computer anyway. Thanks in advance!

iamom Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Not free, but pretty darn cheap: http://www.happyscribecopybooks.com/ Some selections are religious in nature but you can tell from the title so you could just skip those ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemykids Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Last time I checked, (and it was a long time ago) the Ambleside Online yahoo group offered free copywork drawn from the literature in their schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I simply pull paragraphs from their reading (science, history, or lit). I put a small pencil bracket around what I expect them to do and they simply copy it from the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I just use the poetry that they are memorizing at the moment for their copywork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I don't know if your usings Story of the World or not, but this mom has put together copywork for SOTW and made it available to all. http://heritage-academy.blogspot.com/ You could just cut out the sentence you want them to copy and hand it to them. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
