  1. Following. I just purchased Killgallon but I'm not sure it's going to fit our needs.
  2. How old is your daughter? We completed MCT Island level last year and are starting town level now. My kids, now 3rd and 5th graders, loved Island level but there are portions that don't seem to fit what your dd enjoys. For example, Building Language only introduces ten to fifteen stems and is light compared to Caesar's English (stems/vocabulary for town level). What you won't find in MCT is a lot of copywork and memorization, though the four level analysis in Practice Island might become a little repetitive. Depending on your daughter's age, you might be able to go with Town level and take it really slow. Narration could be added easily to any literature you are reading. We are fans of the Bravewriter lifestyle but I have difficulty with the Arrow issues, specifically choosing books that we are interested in and forming a cohesive program from there. I felt I would be jumping around too much for the kids to retain the concepts.
  3. We are just beginning literary analysis at our home. I have completed Teaching the Classics, listened to Andrew Kern's suggestions, and studied (very briefly) what Charlotte Mason would have suggested. While I like the idea of not getting between the reader and the book, I don't want my children to miss the big idea of the books we read (as even I am prone to do.). I have introduced a handful of literary elements and devices. We look for those elements/devices we have talked about and I add another when I feel they are ready for more. There have been no profound discussions yet but they are picking it up. I am interested to see other responses. This has been on my mind as well.
  4. Are you speaking of Climbing Parnassus? If so, here is the link to it on MP's site http://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/educational-resources/climbing-parnassus
  5. Replying to follow. I watched the first half of this two days ago and will watch the rest this evening. Our family struggles with giving things time to soak in and having time to for 'honey making'.
