I was able to get a copy for English 2 to look over for next year and it has left me with one question. How do you handle copywork?

[MIch elle]

and used the worksheets that you may buy for gr.3-8. They aren't for all the lessons so then dc do odd or even of the written exercises from that lesson.

[Pata]

So you count the written work for the exercises as your copywork? That sounds easy! Anyone else?

We use R&S English *and* penmanship in the lower grades. The penmanship has excellent copywork so that covers it for us.

We use R&S 3, along with copywork books from Queen homeschool, and they get additional practice with their penmanship practice

What I did was to do R&S orally, photocopied pages that required DS to circle something or put punctuation in,....

 

For copywork I pulled a Classic off the shelf, opened the book, and DS started doing copywork. That easy! We also used his RA books or the books he was reading for copywork.

I agree. Writing the sentences unto paper makes excellent copy work. We are using Spelling Wisdom also.

I make copywork sheets using Startwrite software. I just pick snippets of poetry, scripture, wise sayings and make my own copywork sheets for each child.

We did R&S English 2 orally so it didn't conflict with handwriting/copywork. If there was something I wanted her to write (like when they're learning to write paragraphs), I would count that at our "writing" for the day, and there would be no copywork or handwriting assignments.

Thanks guys! Now I can see in my head how it could work.

Ds13 does R&S partly orally, plus he does the separate worksheets. He does separate copywork/dictation (yes, he still needs it!). I use Spelling Wisdom, Queen's LL, or either he or I choose a passage.
