Next, look at some tips about the benefits of copywork.
What is Copywork
Copywork has been around a long time. One of the first things we have our kids do is to trace letters.
When kids can’t write we use trace boards or have them form letters with playdough.
Tracing is the beginning of copywork.
However, when you’re teaching any age writer, copywork has many benefits.
Plus, copywork is a process where many skills are being learned at once.
There is a lot of bang for your buck which is hard to get from other language arts activities.
It’s hard to beat the value of this skill.
