Benefits of Copywork

Discover the many benefits of Copywork where students are exposed to a variety of well-written material. The repeated exposure to quality works teaches grammar, spelling, writing and much more. Simply put, Copywork is an educational exercise where the student copies a passage by hand.

Benefits of Copywork

  • By using a variety of valuable works, you can familiarize your student with a plethora of writing techniques and styles. Don’t be afraid to think outside the “classical copywork” box! Even a well-written magazine article can provide inspiration and hold the interest of your child.
  • So, even students who do not love writing can appreciate that Copywork affords the ability to combine subjects.
  • While students are focused on copying the passage correctly, they are learning proper punctuation, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and syntax. 
  • The act of copying a passage requires such focus that students are actually improving memory function at the same time!
  • Reading and copying quality works familiarizes the student with well-written material in such a way that it helps to improve their own writing skills.

A wonderful quote about Copywork from  The Well-Trained Mind,

“The purpose of copywork is to get into the child’s visual (and motor) memory the look and feel of a sentence that is correctly composed, and properly spelled, spaced, and punctuated.”


Combining Subjects with Copywork

  • Pull several spelling words from a passage to use for both spelling and vocabulary
  • Copywork counts for handwriting subject – initially, the focus should be on proper form
  • Additionally, Copywork can be used for Language Arts (Literature, Grammar)

Simple Tips for Effective Copywork

  • Begin with short passages – especially for those who don’t love to write. As students improve their handwriting, longer passages can be copied. Consider starting with individual bible verses or other short pieces. 10 – 15 minutes at a time is all that is needed for success!
  • Tailor the work to a students interest – get their attention and up to enjoyment factor! Although you do want well-written work to pull from (often classical) technically, copywork can come from any well-written passage – even fishing magazines!
  • Additionally, Be Consistent – regular use of copywork is the key to using this learning technique successfully and reaping the full benefits. Set a certain amount of time daily or every-other day for copywork.
  • Clear and Concise – be sure the student can easily read what they are copying. It’s easiest to use pre-printed sheets with the copywork clearly written above the lines where students are to write vs. trying to read and copy small text out of a book.
  • Tackle one main goal at a time – Initially, your main focus might be handwriting. Allow the student to work on short passages and to shape each letter correctly. Once that is mastered, use longer passages to work on grammar and so-forth. Afterwards, tackle spelling.

Why Use Copywork?

Charlotte Mason teaches that exposing children to a variety of well-written work is a terrific way to develop needed skills. Not only does it familiarize students with grammar, excellent writing, a variety of literature, but it also helps to improve spelling, vocabulary, and handwriting.

Initially, you’ll want to pay attention to form. Make sure students know how to form letters properly. Then, the focus can change to improving handwriting, discussing the meaning of particular words, and spelling. With regular exposure, there is a natural process of learning taking place for proper grammar and more.

Kids Approve

Even those who don’t like to or struggle to write generally come around to enjoy the virtues of copywork. Why? Because it’s simple, time-saving as it incorporates several subjects at once, and can be done in small increments. Although small increments are fine, you do want to be sure to use it regularly to reap the benefits.

So, What Are the Beatitudes?

Basically, The Beatitudes are a series of bible verses and blessings taken from the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew, chapter 5,  Jesus laid out very clearly how He expects us to treat others and live our lives. Within the 12 main verses, you can learn a lot about how to have a blessed life!

For instance – “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” The poor in spirit refers to those who are humble and realize that all gifts and blessings come from the grace of God. Those who live a life aware that each and everything they have is a blessing from God, are happier people! Christ teaches the Beatitudes because they are good for us, not to limit or control our behavior, but because He knows that therein lies the secret to a happy and fulfilled life.

Light of the World Bible Copywork

Bible Copywork - Light of the World

Use our free Light of the World Bible Copywork to teach writing in your homeschool. Dyslexia friendly font is included in this Print and Cursive pack.

Light of the World Bible Copywork

Have you discovered the virtues of using copywork in your homeschool? If not, you soon will! In a Charlotte Mason style, students use well-written passages (often from the bible, poetry, or other classical pieces) to improve writing.

Of course, they are also working on reading and spelling at the same time. This Light of the World Bible Copywork package provides study opportunities for bible, reading, spelling, and writing – as well as a creative coloring page. The artwork can play an important role in helping those with dyslexia prepare to learn.

Benefits of Copywork

There are many benefits to using copywork in your homeschool. One benefit (as mentioned above) is that it exposes your students to beautifully written works – such as the Bible and others.

Something that our students have enjoyed is the fact that – with pages like these – there is a short amount of writing to do at a time. The key is having them do it consistently.

Copywork can be used to share any literary genre you like. Again, I find that short passages, or little at a time, is best. The idea isn’t to make them write until their fingers are tired, but to expose them to good writing, vocabulary, spelling and grammar – while they practice handwriting.

It’s a time-saver! Once your kids learn that they can sometimes combine spelling, vocabulary, bible, and writing . . . they will certainly appreciate the time it saves them. In our homeschool, this means more time to explore additional interests!
