Know and Tell: The Art of Narration by Karen Glass
4.0
Karen Glass has done it again! This book will undoubtedly become a standard guide and a classic. Homeschoolers who use Charlotte Mason principles will find this book invaluable to their understanding of the power of narration.
Karen has made it particularly clear how a student progresses from oral to written narration, essays and finally formal composition. Her instructions are both clear and encouraging. She gives practical examples and advice making it easy to follow and understand, clearing up the anxiety many homeschooling parents have about "what to do when".
Most importantly, Karen is faithful to Charlotte Mason's writings and practice of narration in PNEU schools and homes. She is confident that narration works, and readers will come away with the same confidence. I am encouraged that my children will become successful writers, readers, learners and communicators as they practice daily the art of narration.
The book is a must-read for every homeschooling parent. It can also be a valuable resource for teachers in any setting, public or private. I hope every educator will find it, read it, and implement narration in their classrooms. Our children deserve to have a rich feast spread before them, and deserve to be able to use narration as a tool for comprehension and expression.
