I just want to thank you very much for sharing your wonderful insights and ideas with the Charlotte Mason homeschool community.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and have found so much helpful advice here. It's truly a treasure!
Your blank daily planning page will be well-used in our home next fall. I think you've saved me a hour or two of work in designing such a perfect form.
Many thanks and hugs to you!
XOXO Ann
I just wanted to let you know you have been given the Blogger Reflection Award. Here is the link, http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Jocelyndixon/338180/, for the post.
ReplyDeleteThank you - for being a blogger in whom I can reflect on - you have been a true blessing! I am honored to give it you!
Love,
Jocelyn
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteWow! Your 9 year old knows a lot more than I do! I guess I'll learn all that when my daughter gets to 3rd grade!! Oh dear...
Hope you are well.
Stacy
I was just thinking that I probably did know most of this stuff but I would have to have a refresher before I could attest to that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the riches! I will be starting with my soon to be 9yrdd next year and have a question about the reading. In your reading blog section you quote Miss Mason as saying that adults reading aloud to children should be a treat. Are the scheduled literature books to be read orally by the child, slowly, and then all of the suggested Tales read silently? Then are the history and other lesson books to be read orally by the parent to the child, with the child supplying narrations? Oral narrating after every reading and every lesson, and written narrations once per week at this age? Thank you for your clarification and wisdom. Jamie
ReplyDeleteLindafay,
ReplyDeleteAre you on vacation? I hope you are having a nice break. I came wondering if I had missed some emails since it usually isn't so long between posts.

I recently discovered that I prefer Charlotte Mason's philosophies over other views of homeschooling. Your blog has been a great source of ideas and inspiration. I was tagged for a meme and I chose you as one of my eight to be tagged as well.
ReplyDeleteI know you have already received this, but I awarded you anyway!

Ann, you are most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to let me know it helps a little.
ReplyDeleteJocelyn and Jacque, thank you!xoxo. I'm hopping over to your blogs now.
Stacy and Traci, I can't believe how ignorant I was when I began teaching my children-even after teaching in the public school system! Homeschooling makes you smarter, no doubt about that.
Gratefulgraft, I've answered these questions somewhere on my blog before but don't have the time to find them right now. Very briefly,if you are following CM's advice:
A child who is USED to rich literature and reads well, should begin reading MOST of her own schoolbooks, scheduled literature and free reading by fourth year *that is approx. nine years of age. A few of the more difficult schoolbooks could be read aloud by the parent.
This is what I did:
In year four I began reading aloud a few books such as Bulfinch and Madame How..., but after three or four weeks, I was able to hand it over to my children.
These are generalizations. Each child is unique. If a child is truly struggling, a mom may need to read the entire book. Wisdom is necessary in applying these suggestions.
My nine year old narrates from all schoolbooks on a daily basis and most of the scheduled literature but does not narrate unless she wishes from her free reading.
In the evenings, my husband or myself usually reads a book aloud from the free reading list as a treat.
hth :)
