When Ami from Walking by the Way and Homeschool Share offered me a review copy of Copywork Lessons for Future Heroes, I jumped on the opportunity! We regularly include copywork in our homeschool and we have four future heroes {aka boys}. So, I knew the lessons would be a perfect fit!

Copywork for Future Heroes

About Copywork Lessons for Future Heroes

Copywork Lessons for Future Heroes is a PDF collection of 150 days (passages) of copywork lessons for boys providing them with “true, noble, and excellent things to think about.” While Ami created this collection with her own boys in mind, she is graciously sharing the fruit of her labor so that we too, can use the copywork lessons to help build up our own future heroes!

The copywork is designed for grades 3 and up. However, younger boys who are familiar with copywork can also benefit from this resource as well (as did my rising 2nd graders)!

The copywork passages include Bible scriptures, quotes, poems and fables. The passages cover topics including perseverance, honesty, courage, hard work, and more! Included are quotations from great athletes, inventors, presidents, authors, etc including:

  • George Washington
  • Socrates
  • Albert Einstein
  • John Wesley
  • William Shakespeare
  • George Washington Carver, and more!

Contemporary heroes included are:

  • John Wooten
  • Arthur Ashe
  • Christopher Reeve, and more.

Also included are Aesop’s fables and poems by Robert Frost and Rudyard Kipling.

 

How we use Copywork for Future Heroes

First, I printed the PDF file, slid all the pages into page protectors, and put them in a 3-ring binder.

Since the pages are in page protectors, I can easily use a dry erase marker to circle the passage that I want the boys to copy.

In this case, the my son copied 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. We used blank writing pages found on my Writing Prinables page.

After copying the passage, my son creatively depicted the passage in the space at the top of the page. {I just love the little muscles on the “strong, faithful heart”!}

Copywork for Future Heroes

I am extremely excited to fully implement the copywork lessons into our homeschool. I plan to select copywork passages that coincide with what we are studying in school either by author or topic. Plus, I will use the copywork lessons to help reinforce some habits and character traits that my boys may need some additional help with!

 

What I Love About Copywork for Future Heroes

I love that Ami has done the work for me! I can easily flip through the pages and find passage after passage that can help build character in my boys! In all honesty, I could just randomly flip to a page and select a passage, knowing that it will be appropriate and applicable for my boys as I strive to help them think on those things that are true, noble, and excellent!

On a more technical note, I really like the enlarged font! It is very easy for my boys to read, which is a HUGE bonus when copying passages!

 

Purchase Copywork for Future Heroes

Do you want to help your son think on what is “true, noble, and excellent” as they grow and mature into a man? Be sure to head over to Walking by the Way! You can purchase Copywork for Future Heroes for only $5!

    I think it all depends if you want the kids to memorize the quotes of just use it for copywork. In all honesty, it had not dawned on my to use the copywork for memorization! No you’ve got me thinking…

    That looks really cool! I think both my daughter and my son would enjoy their copy work a lot more with this workbook. Thanks for the great review!

    I was just popping in to ask you to vote for my Magical Mouse Schoolhouse on the Circle of Moms contest. I learned about the contest just last week and am trying to make up for lost ground. Already up to #33, but the competition is fierce near the top, lol! Anyway, I’ve been voting for you each day, and I’d love it if you could give me a nudge. Thanks so much!
