Copycat Books Review/Giveaway and Handwriting Development Tips

I was delighted to review Copycat Books as my youngest child is at the age where she requires and actually enjoys doing a great deal of copy work.  These pdf books are a real bargain at $5, not to mention how much time they save as I do not have to create these sheets myself.

Copycat books offers two manuscript pdf workbooks in three different scripts - traditional, modern or italic.  

Manuscript Titles

NIV Psalms

The Basics

And eight titles in cursive with three different scripts - traditional, modern or italic.

Cursive Titles

KJV Proverbs

NIV Proverbs

NIV Psalms

Ancient Egypt

Ancient Greece

Ancient Rome

Middle Ages

The Renaissance

Since my girl is six years old I reviewed The Basics book.  The copy work content was relative to her age.  It featured handwriting assignments on details of the American flag, buying and mailing stamps at the post office, and being polite and mannerly.  These are all topics that are good for her to read and at her reading level.

I also appreciated that Copycat Books provided a blank line at the end of each page where she could practice letters that were difficult for her.

I was also pleased that many of the Copycat titles are classical in nature and that author uses the NIV version for most of her Biblical copy work.

This concludes my Hammock Home School review of Copycat Books.
