Help and Hope for Teaching Reading by Liz Cottrill
Are you afraid to teach your child to read, or frustrated with your lack of success? This hour will address the practical steps to get started in the crucial responsibility of teaching our children to read. No child is alike in his tackling of this skill, no existing curriculum addresses all the variables, but Charlotte Mason’s way is straightforward and steady. Together we will conduct beginning reading lessons and then tackle all the questions you have about your own particular fears or difficulties that time will allow. (1-hour video)
Geography: At Home in the World by Emily Kiser
Often we wonder if a Charlotte Mason curriculum is still relevant for children today, living in a multi-cultural, modern world. Yet, if we look closely at the subject of geography, we see that instead of focusing on our own country as we do when we begin teaching history, young children should be exposed to a wide knowledge of all countries to become acquainted with all cultures and climes–even those very different than his own. “Bet let him be at home in any single region; let him see, with the mind’s eye, the people at their work and at their play, the flowers and fruits in their seasons, sympathetically,” (1/275) Charlotte Mason tells us, and this knowledge widens and deepens throughout her curriculum. In this workshop, we walk through the principles and practices of geography teaching in Forms I through VI. (1-hour video)
Scheduling: A home schoolroom managed on sound principles by Nicole Williams
Charlotte Mason gave us very specific guidelines for how a homeschool family’s daily schedule should run, including morning lessons and afternoon occupations. But for some, the idea of creating and following a schedule can be daunting. Join Nicole as she shows you how Miss Mason’s plan allows for freedom and serenity in your day. (1-hour video)
