Simply Charlotte Mason Teaching Reading Giveaway!


If you homeschool your child, chances are you have been overwhelmed with the choices of curriculum that are out there. And when it comes to teaching your child to read, you can have your pick of any talking, singing, and dancing curriculum you want 🙂 Sometimes, less is more. I love the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling. She taught reading using a variety of phonics, sight words, beautiful reading selections, and hands-on-activities. If you want more info on her approach to teaching, go here.

Simply Charlotte Mason recently came out with a new reading program designed to employ all the above methods. This is a beautiful, simple reading program that will not overwhelm you when you pull it out of the box! This program would be especially helpful for you if you have a hands on learner.
The Delightful Reading program comes with a teacher’s guide, which is invaluable. It contains direct quotes and stories from Charlotte Mason herself on how to teach reading. It shows you step by step how to teach a young child their ABC’s on through the time when they eventually start reading.
The reader that comes with the book is filled with twaddle free (I love that Charlotte Mason word!) reading selections from Robert Louis Stevenson, Aesop, Proverbs, and more. It comes with letter and word tiles that are printed on thick card stock. You just cut them apart and place them in the little bags provided for you to keep it organized. There are word tiles, uppercase and lowercase tiles, phonetic blends, and blank tiles for you to write on as needed.

I have used this program with my 7 year old son, who is past the ABC age, but still not reading fluently yet. He enjoyed doing the tiles, and it seemed to really help him learn how to actually spell the words and retain the spellings in his head. All of my children gathered around when we read with the tiles, and my younger children liked playing and recognizing the letters themselves. This is a gentle approach, but it’s effective.
Due to our hectic schedule lately, we have gone back to the other reading program that we have, but as soon as things slow down around here I want to pull this back out and use the tiles again. I have found that this method builds confidence in my older son as he learns to read more difficult words.
You can purchase the whole set for $49.95, which for a complete reading program is a steal! If you would like, you can download a sample here.

    My kids are kind of stuck at the moment in English reading skills, and perhaps this program would work for us. They are finding it much easier to read in Japanese!!
