WriteShop has a book of copywork/dictation passages, but it only has 16 passages. They also have a list of other websites that have copywork/dictation passages (linked below).
Personally, I just use a passage from whatever we happen to be reading at the time. If we’re reading _Charlotte’s Web_, I’ll pick a paragraph from the chapter we just finished. If it’s _A Tale of Two Cities_, same thing. The great thing about this is, their copywork/dictation grows along with their reading ability.
