Johnny Appleseed Copywork Pages

Johnny Appleseed – we study him every year during our annual Apple Unit Study!

We love all things apples here at the Hill House, and studying them is so fun for my kiddos and me.  We have such wonderful memories of apple tasting, apple cooking, apple chalk pastels, apple books, and any other apple idea you can imagine.

When we study apples, we also read several books about Johnny Appleseed and do a few Johnny Appleseed activities as well.

Years ago, I needed something fresh and new for my 1st grader, so I created a set of Johnny Appleseed Copywork Pages.

Note: This post was originally published in 2017.  This packet is completely overhauled with a brand new layout and fresh fonts for 2022.  Please download it again to use with your young ones!

Johnny Appleseed Copywork Pages

This set of copywork pages includes 16 pages, each with one sentence about Johnny Appleseed.

There are 8 print worksheets and 8 cursive worksheets.  Both sets contain the same sentences.

The sentences on these pages are intentionally very simple for beginning writers.

If your child doesn’t have much writing stamina, simply choose 1 or 2 lines each sitting until he can complete the sentence.

Using Copywork Pages in Your Homeschool

Years ago when I created these, we used one of these handwriting pages each day.  My 6 year old read the sentence to the best of her ability, and we will talked about the parts of the sentence.

Even though she was not a fluent reader at the time, she could recognize nouns and verbs when we completed her lessons aloud together.

These practice worksheets also gave us a chance to talk about capital letters, end marks, and spacing between words.  These are all areas she needed extra practice!

Lastly, I included a sentence with John Chapman’s birth date, which provides yet another chance to talk about writing the date.

I have found that my young ones need a lot of practice with these concepts, and copywork provides a wonderful opportunity to incorporate many of these.

Plus, having themed sentences just make it all the more appealing!
