Beatrix Potter Copybook Download

The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit

I love this sweet Beatrix Potter tale for the youngest listeners. It is very short, perfect for copywork! There are three versions for three levels of writers. The first is a beginning version, with the words over each line, like a handwriting book. The second has the words all at the top of the lines, for more advanced writers. The last version can be used by print or cursive writers who can do copywork from a separate text.  The word are on a separate slip of paper so only the child's writing appears in the story. Some of the pictures are black and white for coloring.

Beginning Book

This is the book for the beginning writer. Each word is directly over a line, for kids who still need help with letter formation. The model is on lines, to remind them how to write them correctly. Best for kids transitioning to writing longer words and phrases. 

Copywork Book

For the child who no longer needs reminders about letter formation, this copywork book has the lines for the child's writing after the sentences, rather then directly under them. This helps transition the child from letter-by-letter copying, an important step in learning to visualize words for spelling. 

Penmanship Book

This book is for the child who is ready for beginning copywork from a separate source. Since eventually they will be copying from a book, this helps them transition to looking at a different source for their model. This also helps encourage them to look at the whole word rather then writing letter by letter.
