Printable Copywork: Aesop’s Fables

(The images below appear broken, however, if you click and open them, possibly right click and open in new tab, they will show up full size)

There are slightly more than two dozen free printable copywork pages from Aesop’s Fables here. The selections are suitable for first or second graders who have mastered their letter formation skills. With possibly one except, the stories I used for these copywork pages are the ones assigned in term one of AO, but you don’t have to use AO to find value in copying sentences from Aesop’s Fables.

To save space, I just posted the partial images here- thumbnails.   Right click, then select ‘open in new tab’ and then print or save the image to the file where you store these sorts of printables.

To print, set your paper orientation to landscape, margins to .25. You can center it on the page, but that’s not necessary. I always check it with print preview before I print anything.

Set the timer for ten or fifteen minutes and stop the copywork as soon as the timer goes off, then have your child check it carefully.
