HUFI/Charlotte Mason Help qs

[TwoEdgedSword]

I realize that Linda Fay closed her site and I'm not privy to all the details. It looks as though some things were taken down from her site and during this time, some ladies spoke of forming a new group to continue implementing her methods.

 

Does anyone have a link for the new yahoo forum or know how to access the highschool booklist?

 

I really miss HUFI material and would like to reconnect to it.

 

Thanks.

Here is what I found...

 

Year 12 Booklist

 

And it seems that the yahoo forum is inactive, but still has files, recommendations, etc.

Thanks momto2Cs. I couldn't find that. Do you know if 9-11th grade book lists are anywhere to be found?

 

In the yahoo files I saw daily checklist, but not the high school booklists.

From my understanding of her site, her lists for the upper years were, in general, the same as the upper years (7-12) as Ambleside Online. I do believe that she modified the lists to some degree by substituting different books for some AO books and based this on personal preference. I do remember that she would list each book list for each AO year and included comments about which books they liked and which books they did not. I also remember that AO had her remove these lists later. (I think when they became more strict with copyrights, but I'm not sure of the exact reason. It was kind of an overreaction on the part of AO, IMHO, but...) But, this is all that I can remember. Year 12 at AO has just been added in the last two years or so, so I do remember that this year has been more open to interpretation due to its simply not being available yet for such a long time.

 

 

Here is a compiled list of book reviews:

Also, it may help to look at the books she includes for Older Students at her Amazon Bookstore:

Thanks Kfamily. I appreciate the background. I didn't know she had an Amazon bookstore. So looking at that and the book reviews will fill in a great deal about what she was using.

Bummer that it came to an end. But it's nice that she left much of it up. :-)

I wish that she did not close this site as well.  I managed to print year 8, but did not think I would need to print the older grades.   I liked how she incorporated different books and gave other options.  I have bookmarked the Amazon book list.   For example, we enjoyed reading The Story of Europe by HE Marshall, which is not listed on AO.  

 

Thanks for posting that!

2KnowWisdom - I have the booklists for the years 7-11. pm me your email address and i'll forward you the files.  There was a mad scramble when LindaFay told the yahoo group about the need to take down her files.   :)

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses her wisdom and handholding through the upper years.   :(
