Now, smarteducati.blogspot.com will describe Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling . This homeschooling method have  concept of reading aloud to my children, and different with the text books and embrace a literature based method to teach our children. Like most new homeschoolers, the class needs text books for the children and began teaching. Somehow we had much less time to read aloud. I was introduced towards the Charlotte Mason technique, and enthusiastically purchased Karen Andreola's book The Charlotte Mason Companion. It take us to the fresh and new zone, and I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly to this much more relaxed approach, and also the excuse to schedule reading aloud into our homeschool day. We started implementing Charlotte's suggestions:

•  Reading aloud living books
•  Narration
•  Picture Study
•  Music Appreciation
•  Learning Science from Nature (although ours is modified in the real CM approach described beneath)
•  Mother Culture
•  Self Education
•  The Happiness of Habit

Homeschooling Tips  - Combining Charlotte And Jefferson Education

After a few years, I came across another homeschooling method, via a book known as the Thomas Jefferson Education, by Oliver Van DeMille. Oliver tell us the importance of self-education when studying . He says that for learning to take location, the student should take responsibility. The parent is not a teacher, a lot as a facilitator.

 The other important elements of a Thomas Jefferson Education are Classics and Mentors.When classic books are read, studied and discussed having a mentor, the student learns to think. He's not taught what to think (as inside a fill-in-the-blank or multichoice text book), nor is he taught when to believe but how to think.

The parent as the mentor for their childs, should consider the book becoming read and ask herself the questions she will later ask the student. These questions should provide meat for discussion using the student and be open minded. The student ought to be guided to think for himself, and not merely parrot off the right answer.

 The student learns to express his views and present them in a discussion with other people in a group setting, or even inside a debate. This expanding ability to believe to ask questions of himself and others equips the student to become self-governing. In the future the children  will become a leader in their life and  they find himself someone who will believe the miracle and can change her mind that they can change the world and everything.

 I have found that the Charlotte Mason technique and Thomas Jefferson Education model work very nicely with each other. I have a tendency to lean more towards Charlotte Mason for the younger kids (when TJEd says they ought to be within the love of studying stage setting foundations, great habits, and values). Even as young children, of course, many from the books you read aloud will probably be classics, and also you will naturally talk about the books as you read and they narrate. The books will get much more tough as the child matures, and also the discussions will become more difficult. Fantastic spiritual insights can come to light as you as well as your student dig deeply into classic books.

Classic books will speak volumes into their lives without your getting to point out the lesson, especially in these young people who choose to challenge their parents' views,

 So my guidance is, the parents may start out with Charlotte Mason's techniques, read, narrate , discuss a subject , get the basics, the foundations of learning.  Begin to move into Thomas Jefferson Education when your student is ready continue to read and discuss, and gradually need much more of one's student in the way of expressing his suggestions each in oral and written presentations. You can see your kids bloom and grow  to be children who have better  intelligent, smart and excited young people.
