Creative Copywork Journal ~ Do-It-Yourself Homeschooling: The Thinking Tree

Creative Copywork - 100 Pages Normal Price -$22.50 The Creative Copywork Journal lets you and your child choose what passages to copy. This beautiful journal will give your child a place to put all their copywork for a wonderful keepsake! Throughout the journal there are illustrations to color because coloring relaxes and reduces stress which in turn can help your child really cement what he's learning through copywork. After the brain had a bit of a workout with copywork your child can color for a bit to help his brain settle in all that learning it just did. There is also space for spelling and vocabulary words for those hard to remember words. Creative Copywork brings fun to school because when your child is having fun learning, your child will remember more too. Fun-Schooling equals fun-learning. When you give your child a blank piece of writing paper and expect them to be creative and write but they just stare at it and says, "I don't know what to write" he really might be communicating, "I don't know what to think." That's where copywork comes in. It takes the stress out of having the child think up stories and/or ideas to write. Copywork gives your child the chance to "see" great literature and analyze it without even realizing what a workout they are giving their brain. It's actually quite amazing what our brains are up to when we copy word-for-word someone else's writing. Whether a beginning writer or a reluctant teen, copywork is a great way to get them writing. Your child will gain confidence with copying someone else's thoughts and writing because he will become familiar with words, sentences, structure, and punctuation. Copywork helps your child in the process of learning to articulate his own thoughts which leads to communicating them on paper. And if that's not enough it also improves spelling & vocabulary, it will train your child to pay attention to detail, and it can be done independently too!
