I am just starting out HSing in the fall with a 3rd grader and a 1st/2nd grader. I think narration would be wonderful for them in light of their strengths and weaknesses, but what is the best resource for explaining to ME how to implement this? Thanks!

Two books that help me a ton:

When Children Love to Learn
A Charlotte Mason Companion

This website (http://charlottemasoneducation.wordpress.com/charlotte-mason-the-method/narration/) has been and continues to be very helpful to me.

Simply Charlotte Mason (http://simplycharlottemason.com/timesavers/narration/) has a lot of ideas for narration.

I like Writing With Ease, but I prefer summary narrations, where CM tends to have the child recall as much detail as possible.
