**What is “copywork,” and how do I use it in my child’s education? Copywork in a great way to teach your children. By copying passages from Great Works of literature or history, children learn many areas of Language Arts. Children have the opportunity to be exposed to great writers or historical events, while learning Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Creative Writing from the “Masters.” Most Classical Education programs recommend copywork as an intricate part of educating your children, quite often in place of many of the traditional Language Arts programs listed above. By copying passages 2-3 days per week (or more), your children will come to learn and possibly even memorize some of the greatest literature from our history. While penmanship is important, the knowledge that they are gaining through the copywork is what is most important. However, do encourage your children to take pride in their penmanship. Also, instruct them in the importance of the “art” of Spelling, Punctuation, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Creative Writing. With some practice, they will begin to “imitate” these in their own personal writing.
