<td>Written for a child between the ages of eleven and thirteen- whenever they are
reading a variety of classical literature and able to write a short report
without much effort. This volume contains grammar, punctuation skills, copywork,
narration, dictation, picture study, letter writing, and more - with a strong
emphasis on learning about different types of poetry and how to write it. A
consumable text with 180 daily lessons and full color classic paintings
throughout, this is the perfect language arts course for your upper elementary
or middle school aged child who is using the Charlotte Mason
approach.
Charlotte Mason: Learning In Context
As soon as the
review copies of these books arrived I was smitten. This is the finest
implementation of the Charlotte Mason method of instruction I have ever seen. If
you are new to home education, the Charlotte Mason (1842-1923) name may not be
familiar to you. A British educator who devoted her life to improving the
quality of children's education, to Charlotte Mason, language arts skills
consisted of narration, the child telling back a story, copywork, the
transcribing of a well-written piece of literature as handwriting practice, and
dictation, which is spelling and grammar taught within the context of rich
language instead of static lists.
From Theory To Ready To
Use
Sandi Queen has done an excellent job of combining those lesson
essentials, and even if she had stopped there it would have been a fine program.
But instead, she takes the series from satisfactory to exceptional by adding
delightful flourishes that include picture studies with full-color paintings,
basic phonics instruction, poetry appreciation and writing, creative writing,
and much more.
Full Color Paintings Make These Books
Sparkle
It is the gorgeous reproduction of notable paintings that
will first catch your eye. True to the Charlotte Mason philosophy, the picture
studies are based on classic works of art, introducing the child to the
paintings of great artists, encouraging him to study them by asking pertinent
questions, and then asking for a narration of what he has
observed.
Very Short Lessons Cover Lots
Easily
Likewise characteristic of the Charlotte Mason approach, each
lesson takes a scant five to fifteen minutes a day. This increases a bit with
age, but is never as time-consuming as you will find in the more staid programs
typical of government schools. And Language Lessons doesn't try to do everything
everyday, which alleviates the tedium associated with other language arts
programs. I know many mothers who struggle under the multiple pressures of
parenting and educating, to say nothing of their responsibilities as wives and
Christ followers. But I don't know any mother who is too busy to use this
program. Each book is a large, consumable, perfect-bound paperback, containing
180 lessons, and in full color.
