Charlotte Mason taught that a child learns grammar (capitalization, punctuation, spelling, etc.) best by doing copywork - that is copying over selections from fine literature into a notebook. The child is forced to pay attention to the details of writing, and corrects his work when through, by comparing it to the original. Sounds too easy? We have used these principles in our homeschool, and they work!

The books listed here are some that we have found excellent for copywork purposes. The selections are short enough, yet are worthwhile writing. Most are classics, and are full of wisdom. We have arranged them beginning with books for younger children's use. This is flexible, however, as many have been used by other ages as well, but it will give you a guide if you are dealing with only one age group.
 


NEW SERIES!!! Copywork for Young Ones by Sandi Queen
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Thematic Copywork Lessons series for students in 4th - 12th grades, we have decided to come out with a series of copywork lessons for younger children. These consumable books are designed for children anywhere from 1st - 3rd grades, and will begin a habit of daily copywork lessons right from the start! Shorter lessons, larger print size, and lines directly underneath the material to be copied (thus the child is not required to look back and forth from source to notebook) make these workbooks perfect for younger children. As with all of our copywork lessons, material has been carefully selected for variety in skills, moral content, and interest in the chosen subject matter. Material chosen from a conservative Christian perspective. Order one book per child, as these are consumable.

Math Facts for Copywork
My dear friend, Carylee Gressman, recommended this to me, and I’ve been recommending it to parents in my Charlotte Mason workshops, as well as to folks looking for an effective way to teach math facts, ever since. It is simple, but truly remarkable! Frustrated in trying to get your child to remember math facts when flash cards, computer games, and drill sheets aren’t working? Consider this: each time you drill a child with a set of facts, as he consistently gets the incorrect answer, that wrong answer gets locked in his mind over and over. Why not apply the principles of copywork here as well? Having the child repeatedlyl copy the CORRECT set of facts locks the correct answer in his mind. Simple, but more effective than any method we have used in the past (many, you can be sure, in our 18 years of homeschooling!). Here are the facts, in large size print, laid out systematically, to go along with any math program. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts are all here for you. Each set of facts is copied over daily until the child can say them correctly from memory - then he moves on to the next set of facts. We have had phenomenal results with this easy-to-implement method of teaching math facts!
