The Lesson Book

The Lesson Book is meant to be something that brings peace and rest to moms while giving children more freedom and enjoyment in learning. This is not a workbook. Workbooks ask specific questions and require specific answers.This one is not about specifics, just about giving a framework so that you, the teacher, have less work to do. YOU decide what needs to be copied and dictated. Your child decides what is important enough to be recorded.In this way, it becomes less of a "schoolbook" and more of a memory-keeper for actual learning.These pages can be used with the McGuffey readers or just about any other book you wish. They were formulated with the Charlotte Mason approach in mind, which includes copywork, narration, and dictation.This level is for those children who are fluent readers but are building on their vocabulary and writing skills.I love to use this one with the second half of the McGuffey Second Eclectic Reader (original version from Mott Media), but you could also use it with a simple book such as Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.For more on me, Sherry Hayes, and what I consider to be most important, visit my blog, Mom Delights (momdelights.com).
