MCT comes highly recommended. I spent too much time and money on my English degrees to use him (LOL!), but if I chose a prepared language arts curriculum, his would be my pick.

The memorization piece is my problem with classical homeschooling. This would NOT appeal to my kids...or to me!

Are you planning to have your DS return to school? I don't think narration and dictation would be a big problem. But I'm not an expert on that.
