Copywork passages -- Anyone have a list?

[Beth in SW WA]

Startwrite is loaded and I'm ready to make my copywork for next year. Is there a list of websites of age/grade-appropriate copywork? I plan to do a lot of cut & paste (since I'm lazy:001_smile:) as well as enter passages from our history, lit & science.

 

Thank you in advance!

I really like this copywork from Aesop's Fables.

You can join this yahoo group from Ambleside for free copywork ideas :)

If you look in the files section, you'll see the AO list broken up by year. I also like the Elson Readers, which are free at google books (primer - 8th). They're also very good. Additionally, any of the recommended books from AO are good & most can be found at mainlesson.com or google books.

When I'm short on copywork I head over to the poetry sections on Ambleside Online. Choose which year you want, then scroll down until you find the poetry section.

Thank you!! I joined the AO group.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

I'm so excited about this SW program. I love Modern Cursive.

 

I'm also typing in all the words from our SWR Wise Guide lists for our daily spelling copywork.

 

The built-in SW penmanship lessons look perfect.

 

No problems w/ SW on my Mac (as was discussed in an earlier thread).

 

TIA! :)

Any other suggestions?

 

Krazzymommy reminded me about Living Memory. How could I forget Drew's book??? I only wish it was digital so I could cut & paste.

 

Thanks!

I use Dictation Day by Day from google books. I would post a link if I could figure it out. :confused: You can search for it on google books. I am using fourth year but have found it as early as second year.

 

Have fun!!
