We enjoy reading living books in our homeschool. As we read, I look for sections that interest my children, communicate the chapter's main points, and are well-written. I then go back over the selections looking for sentences that can be easily decoded along with one or two challenging or rule-breaking words. I vary the choices between short and long, dialogue and descriptive, and memorable and fun passages with serious and character-building references. I hope these copywork printables will help you streamline lessons in your homeschool and further your enjoyment of the books you read.

The 60-point font works best for beginning writers (preschool thru 2nd Grader). The 40-point font works best for elementary-aged students (2nd-5th Graders). Try the fonts and sizes by downloading the free letter formation practice pages.
