    The Hutchinson Treasury of Stories to Read Aloud

    I wanted to recommend the book The Hutchinson treasury of stories to read aloud selected by Janet Schulman.  This book was previously been printed under the title The 20th-Century Children’s Book Treasury.   The content is the same. This book contains many books which are recommended on various US curriculum.  It used to be on Sonlight’s PreK curriculum for families abroad to reduce shipping.  Many of the stories would be nicer in their original single book per story format, but this is a great option to read them first to see if you and your children enjoy them.  There are lots of copies of this book in the Irish libraries –…

    Learning Handwriting using Handwriting Without Tears

    Both my children loved learning to write using the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum.  I think this is a fantastic curriculum for learning print handwriting, and it is available here in Ireland from Sensational Kids in Naas and Thinking Toys in Co.

It is used by many home educators right from the start, and it is also used remedially with older children both by parents and by occupational therapists.

About

A little blog to bring awareness of the Classical and Charlotte Mason approach to home education (home schooling) to Irish families by showing how my family use this style: how we supplement, substitute and adapt US curriculum; include Irish history and geography; information on books fitting this approach available in our libraries; local resources and the wonderful local field trips available.

I hope to come alongside you as a friend on this journey sharing what I have learnt and what others have shared with me.  I hope to support you in enjoying this journey of discovery we are both on.
