Today I'm sharing a review and flip through of Laying Down the Rails from Simply Charlotte Mason.
If you enjoy the Charlotte Mason philosophy and are wanting to really work on character and habit training, then this curriculum might just be for you.
It is gentle, simple, and flexible so that you can easily tailor it to work for your family.

Thank you so much for the review! Commenting to say I’ve never heard the phrase “ummed and ahhed!“ Here in the South (US) we say “hemmed and hawed.” I love dialect differences! 😁

Yay! I just ordered this a couple of weeks ago and can’t wait to start. We are starting a gentle feast cycle 1 form 1 this fall and are adding it to morning time. I need habit training myself so I’m excited about it.

Yes! The habit training is beneficial to the WHOLE family. :D

Thank you ! This was a great review :) I saw this mentioned at a convention I went to and have decided to try it next year with my boys, who are 8 and 13. I love the CHarlotte Mason philosophy and have also purchased several of their Portfolio History and Picture studies for next year :)

Hey there! So glad to have you. :) My accent is a mess, ha! I'm actually originally from South Africa, have lived in NZ for almost my entire life, but have had a lot of US influence. :P

My 3 year old is very interested in learning and discussing things already, would you recommend these books for an age that young, or did you really fell like it was mostly helpful for your 5 year old and not younger children?

@ThisHomeschoolHouse 4 жыл бұрын

If you plan on continuing to use it then yes, I definitely recommend getting it. The beauty of the curriculum is that you can modify it to suit the needs of your child. :)

We're not currently using it, but something similar - Morning Virtues from Gentle + Classical Press. :)

Is the scripture done by just references or is it in a specific version?

It is done by reference. :)

I think we need to remember that Charlotte mason lived in a past era so we need to make the way we teach more Moden day but still do it like she would probably today. I’ve been hearing of this for a while now.

I agree, it's always good to modify to suit your family. :)
