Our family has used the classical homeschooling method in various forms for over a decade. My boys grew up listening to the Story of the World and learning about great thinkers in history. They read poetry, Shakespeare, the Bible, and living history as they connected all aspects of history together in their minds and on paper timelines.
One tool that we used in the early years of their classical schooling was the tool of copywork, or writing quotes, facts, poems, and scripture in their very best handwriting as practice for the hands and the mind. I would write a portion of something they had read that day on the whiteboard and they would copy it down neatly in their notebooks. I would have loved to have a premade set of copywork quotes to work from and all planned out for me.
Classical Copywork from Amy at Living and Learning at Home is just the perfect product for your younger classically homeschooled children to work from as they complete their copywork each day. She has selected a nice variety of text to include and it works along with Primary Language Lessons, McGuffey Readers, and the Bible.

I’m most interested in the Poetry for Kids set. I’m always looking for copy work and more variety in the copy work I give to my son, so this would be great! Thank you for the giveaway!

These are great! I would love to try the McGuffey ones with my k5er. Thanks for this great giveaway.
I think the poetry would add a much needed new dimension to our copy work
Any of them look great, since we are just transitioning to homeschool and getting started this summer!
Copywork has been a great addition to our homeschooling day. The poetry set looks especially intriguing!
Started following the Classical model a couple of years ago and would like to use copy work to enrichment my kids school experience.
