A Literature Approach Education
I love literature approach teaching and learning. My children also share this enthusiasim therefore we read vast amounts of novels. I'm seeking a literature based study. What living book or classical study are you using? I listed a few that caught my eye; would love your suggestions.
Simply Charlotte Mason uses living books. Literature that passes original ideas from the author, who is passionate about his subject, to the reader. Your choice of books should make you a better person after reading it, offering rich vocabulary with a purpose not just facts. Academics were very much a part of her teachings although most refer to the Charlotte Mason Method as unschooling. She chose quality literature, poetry, art, music, science, history, math, crafts and nature studies. Her method of teaching in small bite size pieces, is often criticized but her results leave no room for judgment.
The Well Trained Mind- A classical study, which divides learning into academic skills and content. Your child will need structure and discipline while learning basic academic skills. Educational Content should be a delight centered-learning, allowing your child to further explore those subjects of interest. This study should follow the trivium pattern, not being image focused but language focused, centering your studies around the story of history.
What about The Thomas Jefferson Education? Great Books bringing out the leader in your child and teaching your child how to think. I may need this one for my self. LOL
