Review: Homeschool Copywork

We have really enjoyed using the variety of e-books for copywork and notebooking as part of our Lifetime Membership to Homeschool Copywork.

What is copywork you ask? Copywork is not just about handwriting practice. It also encourages children to learning and maintain great punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, reading and comprehension skills.

Homeschool Copywork is a website, designed by a fellow homeschooling mum, that provides quality copywork and notebooking pages for all at a very reasonable price. With many fascinating topics covering all grades from Kindergarten to High School, this is a very valuable subscription site that families will enjoy for many years.

Currently, Homeschool Copywork offers a variety of topics for every level. These copywork pages are also available in standard manuscript as well as cursive with guided lines for the younger students and plain lines for the older ones. Many pages also include a small picture for your child to colour when they have completed their writing.

Some of the topics are:

The Biblical Options Include:

Dragons of the Bible
1 Corinthians 13
Character Building Copywork
The Armor of God
The Story of the Rainbow
All Creatures of our God and King

There are Poetry options from famous Poets such as :

How did we go?

After having a look at the products available, the boys first choice was Dragons of the Bible. After reading the informative page at the beginning of the book, our boys started with the manuscript writing pages, as they really need to practice their writing. Later, we moved onto the cursive pages for our oldest boy.

Next, we moved onto the Character Building Copywork. This was a great list of verses for training the heart. Then our boys chose The Wright Brothers Copywork. They really enjoyed this as they had learnt about the Wright brothers in the past and really enjoyed it, so they got out their books and used the copywork pages as they studied the brothers. B really wanted to complete The Story of the Rainbow Copywork too, so they have just started that too.

Overall, I love the variety of topics is amazing and the levels of handwriting available is great. The key to copywork is consistency and having the lifetime membership is awesome, as I know that I will have great copywork pages readily available when needed.

There is a free membership for those who wish to try the products before purchasing a full membership. The lifetime membership includes all the products available as well as the new ones as long as the website exists. The Full membership offers access to everything current and all that is added for one year, while the Lifetime membership covers everything now until the end of the site.
