Molly at Counter-Culture mom wrote a good article on the value of catechising children. It was a good reminder for me. We have been memorizing the Westminster Shorter Catechism for a couple of years now. Our memorization has slowed down over the summer though and I am planning on working some on it every morning in our Bible time.
I have updated my scripture memory box to include the Catechism questions that we have learned. I was a few (like 15) behind. I used the Scripture Memory System from Simply Charlotte Mason to set up our scripture memory box. The system uses notecards and dividers to organize your daily recitation. As you learn a passage better, it gets moved to a different level of review. It’s a really great idea. You do of course have to use the system for it be effective. We’ll be adding our memory box to our routine when school resumes tomorrow morning.
We start Tues. My focus this year is to read through the Bible with the kids. I'm hoping we can stick to it. We homeschool mom's love loftly goals don't we!
