 Too Expensive December 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this item and I do not regret it, however I feel it is too expensive for what it offers. All of the information contained should have been included in the hard-backed book I bought first. The worksheets could have been better done had Peace Hill Press put them on disk. Now I use this book only for reference and make my own worksheets on the computer. *NOTE I include little drawing boxes on my worksheets as my daughter loves to illustrate the sentence she just wrote.
I do think this is an excellent curriculum however, and I would buy it again. You could put this together on your own, but I prefer having it laid out so I can concentrate on homeschooling.
 Great homeschooling Resource October 25, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great resource for anyone who would like to use the Charlotte Mason ideas of copywork and narration from the classics but doesn't want to re-invent the wheel. Susan Wise Bauer has done a fabulous job selecting passages from books that your kids will want to read on their own later. Cute graphics and clear instructions make this a product worth spending your limited education budget on.
Writing With Ease- IT IS EASY! September 3, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is my first year to use any of Mrs. Bauer's curriculum. I really like that each day is just a little bit (just enough)there isn't any overkill. There are 4 days of work for each week. The first and third days they do copy work. The second and fourth days they do narration. My favorite part is narration. You read a short selection to your child (it is already in the book) and they tell you a sentence about what they remember. This is also done - on a larger scale with her Language Lessons book. It is great too! My child loves to tell the story back to me in her own words. Then, I write them down for her. She loves to hear it read back. This teaches how to write a story without being held back by the physical process of writing it down. I wish I had this for my older child! I highly recommend it!
