Hoggirl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Can someone compare these two for me? I am thinking of adding one or the other next year. I do not want to attempt both as we will be continuing with our catechism. Also, where would I start within these? Ds will be grade 7 next year.

SonshineLearner Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I can't wait till I get the memory book...I hear mine's been sent..Today! I should have it within a week:-) Carrie:-) Does anyone actually have his book in hand???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't own Drew's memory book, but from his descriptions it seems very comprehensive. It includes a large variety of memory work from various subjects. I do own & use IEW and while it's FABULOUS, it only includes poetry. We use Classical Conversations & catechism for the remainder of our memory work. From what I can tell, Drew's book would cover all the bases.

Since Drew's book just came out, I can't say definitively which one would be better, but if you look at the description of what the book covers---all 450+ pages of it---it's very comprehensive! I'll be getting mine shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The main difference is that the IEW program is strictly poetry, while my book covers a much wider range of subject matter: history, languages, math, science...you get the idea. The IEW program is great if you just want poetry; Living Memory is a more comprehensive resource. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance that this would be available in the future (hint, hint :D) for yours??? Although at 450 pages, that would be a lot of recording, wouldn't it. I do like the idea of being able to listen in the car on the way to piano lessons. What types of history and science things are included? I wasn't able to see a sample or TOC on the lulu site, but I AM a techno-idiot. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaid Dad Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've thought about doing recordings, but it would be a very, very big job given the length of the book. But I'll keep the possibility in mind... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you've got nothing else to do...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallory Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I am thinking about buying this too, so I haven't seen it yet. But I wonder if everyone might have better luck making thier own recordings anyway. If there was a CD, would he just record the chapters as written? Wouldn't you rather have a CD that had the selection(s) from each chapter that you are working on? We are doing the IEW one right now, and the CD's were so expensive I didn't buy them anyway. We just make tapes or cds to listen to. Just my thoughts, I doubt I would buy a recording of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'd like a "By subjects" and "By level" But to really say what I'd like...I'd have to have my copy in my hands! It should be here soon:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
