YMB #10 All About Narration: A Conversation with Sonya Shafer

Homeschool Better Together with Pam Barnhill - A podcast by Pam Barnhill - Tuesdays

In this interview, Sonya Shafer of Simply Charlotte Mason demystifies the practice of narration, or reading living books and then having children "tell back" in their own words what they remember.She shows how narration is not so much a method of quizzing our children, but rather a powerful tool for promoting attention, comprehension, and retention as the children make the books their own.This conversation is full of step-by-step instructions for how to get started, ideas for moving beyond the basics with older kids, and plenty of trouble-shooting advice.For shownotes and episode downloads, please visit https://pambarnhill.com/ymb10.Mentioned in this episode:Bring Wonder into Your Homeschool This Fall!Visit pambarnhill.com/wonder to bring wonder into your homeschool this Fall!
