ChrissySC Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ... and lists. I had been looking at reviews for Living Memory over the past few days. Got links? Got opinions?:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekmom Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I have Living Memory, and it is an excellent resource. I think the only place to get is Lulu online. Another resource you might consider is the "Everything You Need to Know About...." series. They have one for world history, science, math, US history, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they help throughout or basically grammar based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You may find this grammar stage memorization file helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yes, and logic too. :) That was a big help Hannah. I was just drawing a blank. I could not even think, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindyD Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You can also get the Classical Conversations Memory Guide. It has grammar, science, history, math, and geography separated into weekly groups. It also gives a chronological timeline for the Veritas history cards. I think you have to get it at the classical conversations bookstore.

Flux Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I like quite a few from this one, too. Graded Selections for Memorizing from google books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindyD Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I just looked it up and although it's a good resource, it's not worth $50 imho so nevermind. You might be able to find earlier editions for sale for much cheaper. They're basically the same with just a few tweaks. Here's the link if you want to look anyway. http://www.classicalconversationsbooks.com/focugu3rdedn.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 You are right, the CC book is expensive, but worth buying used. I'll keep my eye out. I am so very tempted with Living Memory. Does anyone know if the memory lists/content are similar to the sample of CC? I have a general use set for our organizer, but I suppose I need the "stuff" to help start putting it to great use. KWIM?

Plaid Dad Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Living Memory contains hundreds of selections in all subjects, including Latin and Greek. In Latin, for example, it's not just grammar forms, but proverbs, poetry, hymns. Same for Greek. English has everything from the alphabet song to Shakespeare. History includes speeches, extensive world history timelines, and a few lists (presidents, kings and queens of England, Roman rulers). The idea is to memorize things that fit in with what you're teaching in your curriculum, not to learn things randomly or out of context. I put it together because I hated having to scare up memory work selections on the Internet or copy from multiple books. I was not terribly impressed with the other available commercial resources, none of which included enough Latin or Greek to be useful to me, and all of which were (imo) overpriced for what you get. And now I'll stop, since I sound more and more like an ad. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Actually, your ad is what just what I needed. Thank you. I only have a few things to wrap up in July, and this was an area where I was not making progress. I will buy it this week. :) Of course, thanks to another poster, I will be getting Fallacy Dective and the Thinking Toolbox too. I settled logic today! Thanks everyone for your help! You are awesome as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecclecticmum Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We are using the "Homeschooler's book of lists" as a starter point. http://www.amazon.com/Homeschoolers-Book-Lists-Facts-Planning/dp/0764204432 Its has categories, and sub topics for nearly every subject. Including sightwords for each year, presidents, history, science etc. We got it in Kindle format, I think it cost me $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I love Living Memory. We worked on the lists for plants this spring, and when we got to that portion in our science curriculum, my children were amazed at how much they knew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
