Excellent American History Study Penmanship Supplement!
Handwriting copywork pages are great for younger kids who are learning their printing, but our older kids really like them too for practicing cursive.
They always like to do their best work when they have nice, clean pages with an easy to follow copywork format.
We especially love to use copywork pages for history unit studies – sometimes it’s a short poem on some fancy pages where they can add some drawings.
Copywork is an excellent way for children to retain information while energizing their artistic abilities.
Handwriting itself is more of an art than anything, and many studies have shown that it actually improves and stimulates brain function in children.
Some of the benefits of Handwriting & Copywork include:
- learning to sit still
- improved memory retention
- improved concentration
- improved attention span
- improved and energize creativity
- improved handwriting and artistic skills
- the valuable art form of handwriting
- an fun way to learn many school subjects
Bill of Rights Lesson Plan Idea:
Using this book and a few other materials, you could do an in-depth 10 week unit study for elementary-age students. A sample lesson plan for these pages might look like this:
- Day 1 – read and explain the first Amendment, discuss and answer questions.
- Day 2 – have the child read the Amendment and draw a picture explaining what it means.
- Day 3 – have child copy an Amendment in their best handwriting, and read aloud again – discuss/answer questions/review.
We recommend using each amendment as a lesson per week, breaking it up into about 3 days, depending on child’s age/ability and how in-depth you are studying the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
For older students you may just want to add into their regular studies and only stretch it out over a 2 week period, one Amendment per day, just as a supplement for their US History or within unit studies.
Sample Pages from all 3 volumes in our History Handwriting Books:
We study a lot of language and history so we work hard to make it all memorable. For U.S. History a perfect way to learn our Bill of Rights, the Preamble to the Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance is through handwriting copywork.
It’s so important that our children learn the U.S. Constitution and their rights as an American citizen. Unfortunately many people have not learned simple things like our Bill of Rights within the current education system. History in general, and our Constitution, are some of the most valuable things our children can learn.
Homeschoolers have found that many children learn certain lessons and subjects better from writing them while simultaneously practicing handwriting and that’s what makes copybooks so popular and easy to use – especially within a unit study where other subjects are added.
Teach your children the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, one of our Constitution’s most important set of Amendments, along with the Preamble to the Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance, while also practicing their penmanship.
This set is the complete Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, and Pledge of Allegiance available in Manuscript Print, D’Nealian Slant, and Traditional Cursive.
Also included are U.S. States and State Capitals Word Searches for a bit of fun.
