So helpful I’ve been torn between following classical homeschooling and charlotte mason homeschooling and I really appreciate your experience and being able to see where the classical model would be better like you said with writing right and with memorizing:) I think charlotte mason has a romance to it , it seems so lovely but I definitely lean toward the classical for the rigorous academic and the memorizing in the young years when they’re inclined to do so … it just seems a waste to not take advantage of that ability.. but I have definitely added more living books and made a point to recognize it .. and the concept of limiting twaddle makes a lot of sense. :) thanks for sharing ❤😇🫶
Thanks for this, this was so helpful, especially as the narration. We were doing purely Charlotte Mason narration and it just wasn’t working. I really like this. We are about to start Writing & Rhetoric, do you feel this fits the bill?
Writing and Rhetoric is great! We have used it and loved it! It teaches writing skills like summarizing a passage concisely as well as creative writing techniques like amplification. I also really like Writing with Ease from the Well Trained mind that teaches how to write a well summarized narration.
@@littlebitsofbliss awesome thank you for that! If you had to pick Writing with Ease or Writing & Rhetoric would you choose one or they both serve different purposes?
@@TheJonesClan6182011 I would say they are different but both will develop their writing skills. I like to use Writing with Ease for grade 1-4 and I added Writing and Rhetoric in grade 4 for added writing skills.
