Publisher's Synopsis
Introduce your children to beautiful, classic nursery rhymes that will add whimsy and wonder to handwriting practice and copywork!
You might be asking yourself, "What exactly IS copywork?" Copywork is simply when someone copies a well-written selection of literature. Studies have shown that copywork can help:
- fine motor skills
- handwriting
- strengthen spelling and grammar skills
- improve vocabulary
- memorization
- concentration
- attention to detail
- exposure to beautiful literature
As you can see, the benefits of copywork are huge! Who wouldn't want these benefits for their children?
So many children these days have not been exposed to many of the classic nursery rhymes. This book will introduce them to many of the fun and often-silly poems. The nursery rhymes included are:
- Little Miss Muffet
- Humpty Dumpty
- Hey! Diddle, Diddle
- Deedle, Deedle, Dumpling
- Jack and Jill
- Mistress Mary Quite Contrary
- Little Boy Blue
- Little Bo-Peep
- The Man in the Moon
- To Market, To Market
- Little Tom Tucker
- A Diller, A Dollar
- Jack Be Nimble

Read the poems to your child before they begin writing and talk about the characters in the poems, the setting, and anything else they notice. You may choose to memorize the poems as you go along.
This tracing copywork notebook is perfect for children in kindergarten through third grade and is meant for kids that are not ready for just looking at a piece of text and copying it. The font is dotted to allow for children to trace the words.
The notebook includes:
- 14 classic nursery rhymes
- The full poem printed on a left hand page
- The right side page has a line of reference text for the child to see what it should look like, then beneath it a line of dotted tracing text for them to copy/trace.
- A sketch page after each poem for your child to draw what they think of when they hear the poem.
