KIN Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm planning for next year and I'm unsure if I should continue copywork with my oldest. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire up north Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I stopped formal copywork by 4th grade. I will have my kids write something, like a letter, I will correct it, and then they will have to copy it properly in cursive. We continue to work on penmanship (esp. in cursive), but my writing efforts now focus more on also getting them to compose well-written sentences (as opposed to just copying them). hth!

KIN Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I stopped formal copywork by 4th grade. This is the way I am leaning. Thanks for your reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 He does it as part of Writing Tales II and handwriting practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in Central TX Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 My 6th & 7th graders still do weekly copywork and dictation as part of CW Homer B and CW Poetry for Beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ya know, he will still be doing WWE which does include weekly copywork and dictation. I never even thought of that! That will be enough copywork. Whew! One less thing to worry about for next year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I still am doing some copywork with my fifth grader, as he continues to need practice with his handwriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleinaustin Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Same here. We're doing WWE also and there is enough copy work in there for us. She also does her A Reason for Handwriting and that's copywork too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaof2andtwins Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I do copy work with all my children up through 8th grade. Sometimes it is hit or miss, but we do it most weeks. Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
