Once again another great book by Mr. Campbell. This is a great resource and I am forever thankful that someone on Well Trained Mind suggested it. We have our memory work binders going everyday. I love that he really pushes that memory should be taught in context with what is currently being taught. The memory binder method is working great for our family. I also have them write their memory work words/lines on flashcards and they have to put it together like a puzzle. That is another method we use to help cement the memory work. I also add in all of our First Language Lessons poems and grammar memory work to the binder as well. The selection of memory work is varied and vast.
I LOVE this book and am so grateful to Mr. Campbell for compiling it. You will not find another book like it. Not only is it great for memory work, but it is a fantastic resource to supplement any subject. One of my best purchases!!
This book is an incredible resource. I wish the whole homeschooling community knew about it. We use it mostly for copywork but hope to get into more of the memory work. I have found nothing else like this book anywhere. Great job!
I could not be more pleased with Living Memory. I felt our memory work was jumbled. This gives me a solid platform from which I pull memory work to plug into our current study. It is amazingly dense and thorough. One of my best purchases, ever. Thank you!
This book is WONDERFUL!! Even though I KNOW how important memory is as a subject in school to supplement allllll their learning, it's sooo difficult to fit in. Then when I finally find things I want each of the kids to memorize, it takes me weeks (or more) to find more once they've completed the task. Then, another year has gone by and I've put little to no memorization facts before the kids when I KNOW it's important. THIS BOOK HELPS! It's all there for me (and then some.) When we have to pare down all the extras in school due to the flu or other life happening, this books makes it so easy for me to choose what items to put back on the schedule easily. I was amazed and impressed by the variety of subjects covered. I had to put tabs in mine to keep them all handy! Latin - Bible Verses, Prayers, Songs / Greek / Math / Grammar / Literature - Songs, Poetry, Plays / Religion & Christmas / Geography / World History - Speeches / U.S. History - Songs, Speeches / Science This will really... More > help me accomplish the things I want to and keep my priorities, too. As a matter of fact, it already has! I ordered this a month before we ended school for the spring and the kids learned things I've been neglecting for years. THANK YOU, Andrew Campbell!< Less
