CathyCDK Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 We have been studying Language Arts with workbooks for vocabulary, phonics, handwriting, spelling, etc. I would like to try an integrated approach similar to Charlotte Mason, Solight's LA, and what is described in Educating the WholeHearted Child by Sally and Clay Clarkson. I think I just need a big push to get started, because I am afraid to jump, know what I mean? One of my questions about doing this, is how to handle kids at different levels? Right now, they can do their own independent workbook assignments at their own level. We are studying the same history, literature and science together. If we switch to an integrated approach, I envision that everyone would be studying the same thing now. What would this look like? My next question, is where to stop. If we have one book for read aloud, each has a book they are reading to themselves, a book or two for history, a living book for Science, would I pick one book for Integrated LA, or one subject, or what? I need help visualizing how it works. Thanks, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
