Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Classical Homeschooling: Anyone doing it?

Hello, I am new here. My ds, soon to be 8, is doing a classical like cyber school education with me. I tweak the curriculum with the Well Trained Mind recommendations. I think that narration and dictation are fantastic. At first, I thought it was not a very useful technique, but now I think it works great.

There is a Writing with Ease textbook and workbooks put out by the same author. How old is your child? I think that even an older child can benefit from this technique which leads to full blown composition. I think it is definitely worth exploring. You could also combine the techniques used in the Writing with Ease with other techniques as well.
