Where can I find a simple explanation on how to implement copy work and studied dictation? I've found lots of samples. I'd just like some simple instructions for me.
Thank you.

Bravewriter is great

I think their site is bravewriter.com

She has very good explanations of dictation and copywork with lots of ideas for when and how to do it- even a list that sends out weekly reminders to fit in dictation and copywork

Have you read through the ABC's of Charlotte Mason? Scroll down a short ways to letter C for copywork info.

Kristie, Jennifer & Marie,

My apologies for not thanking you sooner!
The links really helped and I'm finding it more and more comfortable each time we begin.
