In reply to Chris James. My pleasure, Chris. I agree, Simply Classical is a beautiful and inspiring story of giving kids a classical education.

I have read the “Simply Classical: A Beautiful Education for Any Child” It’s a best story of classical education ever written by Cheryl Swope, Indeed great list to get.
Thanks for sharing with us.

I’ve heard wonderful things about Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum. It’s one I’m planning on reading this year.

Friends recommended I start CM with her volume 6. “It summarizes her teaching experience over the years and if you only read one, read that one.” So I’m reading CM’s volume 6 this month! 🙂

I’d like to read Norms & Nobility if I could ever get hold of the book. Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum is a book I’ve read over many years – one of the most helpful home ed books around. I’ve had Consider This for about 6 months & haven’t started it yet. I decided to hone in on CM’s own words for a while before I started reading any more books about her methods & practice. Living Page – I started this but didn’t finish though I dip into parts of it from time to time.

In reply to Eve West.

Wonderful, Eve! I’m excited to have you on board. Teaching From Rest is coming out with a new edition in August, so it’s going to be the book for September. I can’t wait to read the new edition.

Doing your best to stay on the classical path without letting go of what works for your family is wise. The method is more important than the specific curriculum used to teach a child to read or right, and remember: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 😉

Glad to have you joining us! 🙂
