Handwriting practice sticks better when the sentence is interesting. This free fun facts copywork sampler from Sallie Borrink pairs short world facts with real copywork—so kids practice print or cursive while learning something worth talking about at the table.
Honest download note: The sampler PDF is a direct, ungated download—no email signup required for this free file. (Publisher terms of use still apply when you download.)

What’s Included
From Sallie Borrink’s freebie page (verified live):
- Fun-facts copywork themes: Christmas, Insects & Bugs, Oceans, Penguins, Pumpkins, Reptiles & Amphibians, Astronomy, Thanksgiving, and the U.S. Presidents
- Print and cursive options in the same sampler set
- Three line sizes so you can match early writers or more confident hands
- A sampler peek at Sallie’s broader copywork shop collection (paid products exist; this free set stands alone)
Print one fact for a calm morning-basket page, or stack a few themes for a light handwriting week—no penmanship workbook purchase required.
Who It’s For
- Elementary copywork: Kids who need meaningful sentences, not endless letter drills
- Multi-age tables: Three line options help siblings share one freebie
- Print → cursive bridge: Families practicing both styles without buying two workbooks
- Frugal morning baskets: One PDF, pencil, done
How to Use It This Week
- Pick one theme your kids already like (oceans, pumpkins, presidents…).
- Choose the line size that fits today’s writer—don’t force the smallest lines on a tired hand.
- Print or cursive: Use the style you’re currently practicing (or alternate days).
- Talk the fact for 60 seconds after writing—handwriting + oral narration in one freebie.
What You’ll Need
- Printer + letter-size paper
- Pencil (or pen for confident writers)
- Optional: sheet protectors for reuse; a folder for finished copywork
