If you are new to homeschooling, some the terms other
homeschoolers use and the different homeschool methods they refer to may leave
you with even more questions; but no worries. I will help you navigate through
the different methods of homeschooling so you can choose the method best for
your family.
Charlotte Mason Homeschooling is a method that uses living
books to teach children. The Charlotte Mason teaching method consists of
activities and attitudes that help a child learn self-discipline as well as academic
subjects. Charlotte Mason had a motto – education is an atmosphere, a
discipline, a life.
Narration – an activity that consists of a child telling
back a story she has heard or read. It is done orally when the child is young,
and as she grows older, she begins to write out her narrations.
Copywork – transcribing a piece of literature as handwriting
practice.
Nature Study – a study of living science, with a focus of
observation of things seen on nature walks.
Living Books – books written in an alive, engaging way by an
author who has a passion for the subject.
