Download Free Copywork for The Hobbit
Elijah snagged The Hobbit off the shelf last summer before I had the chance to put it on his required reading list. He loved it so much that he read it twice. Then went to the movie. Then started reading all the Tolkien he could find. I decided to create some copywork pages for him […]

This is […]
