Copywork for Kindergarten/Preschool

Little Snail loves to read magazines and likes to name all of the pictures that she sees. The other day, Big Snail joined us and said, can we cut out the pictures? I thought this would be a great way to do copywork with text that was meaningful to him. He cut out pictures from the magazine and taped them to a piece of paper. I then wrote "I see the..." on each picture. He copied what I wrote. We are working on sight words now and he has enjoyed this little activity. As his development progresses, I will leave out the words that he can spell or sound out and eventually he will do this without the copywork.
