Teaching Children: A Curriculum Guide to What Children Need to Know at Each Level Through Grade Six

by Diane Lopez, Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (Contributor), Elizabeth Laraway Wilson (Contributor)

What does my child need to learn and when does he need to learn it? Teaching Children , a unique curriculum guide for grad levels K through six, provides answers. An excellent educational approach which naturally integrates a Christian worldview and Scriptural principles, Teaching Children draws on noted English educator Charlotte Mason and the Child-Light approach to learning. Child-Light puts children in touch with fine literature and teaches them through the use of "living books." It applies a literary, written, and verbal approach to learning, presenting a logical sequence of skills, concepts, and content. The result--an important resource for those who want to get away from preplanned curriculums. Teaching Children is for both classroom and home teachers, for public and Christian schools, for everyone who desires to enrich a child's learning experience! An introduction written by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, author of For the Children's Sake , explains how and why the Child-Light educational approach came about, and how this third Child-Light book fits into the Child-Light program.

This would be a great resource for someone planning homeschooling from the Charlotte Mason perspective without the help of boxed curriculum. However, it’s quite dated now and there are a lot more resources and some pertinent new research and methods that aren’t available in this book.

Not only helped me to clarify my lesson planning, but encouraged me too.

Bit dated now, but there are still some helpful lists here.
