We do copy work every day – it first started out with me writing it on our homemade whiteboard and they sit at their kid size table. Their eyes look up, read, retain, write down, repeat. This method has helped them memorize the work they are writing, as well as teaching spelling, and, of course, writing neatly! We no longer have our large white board, but copy work is done in a similar manner. The graphics here with verses and quotes on the habit of listening are created so you can click on them to enlarge and your children can copy straight from your screen. No copying or printing for you!
Our memory and copy work includes a definition of our habit, Bible verses, a hymn, and quotes.
Listening is to give one’s attention to the person speaking. Regarding someone as important or interesting.
“Til I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.” –1 Timothy 4:13 
“My son, give attention to my words, incline your ears to my sayings.” -Proverbs 4:20
Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. – Proverbs 19:20
The lyrics and music for this beautiful hymn can be found here.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. -Winston Churchill 
“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” -C.S. Lewis, The Magicians Nephew
