katilac Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 why don't we list any we know, and maybe say if it's a book/list of things to memorize, a book that explains why you should memorize, etc etc. The WTM includes lists of things to memorize at each level, and some explanation for why it should be done. PlaidDad has the handy, dandy new memory book, which seems to be mostly things to memorize in handy categories, with a bit of the why. what else?

laughing lioness Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 IEW's Linguistic Development Through Poetry Memorization has a great "chapter in the book" about why to memorize. Included are 4 groups of 20 poems to memorize (80 in all). We love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I've looked at this a few times, but never quite pulled the trigger. There are charts to track progress, correct? Does he detail a method to use, other than 'review every month' etc? Thanks for any input on this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We participate in Classical Conversations so that's where we get the main source of our memory work. We also memorize specific prayers, bible verses, & a catechism. When CC is not in session, we work on IEW's poetry and LOVE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yep, there is a chart to track progress in the Poetry Mem. workbook. I think his book is worth the price just for the intro to memory work that Pudewa writes. It's a great buy. We've really enjoyed it this year. Also, Dragons in the Flower Bed shares how to use the CM folder approach to memory work on her web-site- much like what Pudewa does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Theophan Academy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 this is my favorite for poetry! here is a link for my review of it - it is well worth it Harp & Laurel is another resource, but not needed if you have IEW and Living Memory and of course, the CC foundations manual (which is currently available for $25 with free shipping) - which is a nice resource, but not nearly so comprehensive as LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
