Letters
to Karen

I recently purchased your Story Starters book and what a blessing it has been! The children love this book and are now avid writers. I do not correct the grammatical and spelling errors in a single story, I just let them write and write and write. Then the child gets a chance to read their masterpiece in front of everyone and we all clap afterwards. It really is fun! If anyone has a reluctant writer, I highly suggest Story Starters as a way to motivate your child into an avid writer!

As I sit here compiling our interview I have been thinking how much I wanted to share with you our exciting news. Due to your Story Starters, and some God-given talent in my twelve year-old daughter, Hannah, Girlhood Home Companion has asked to print her story written purely from the inspiration of the picture found on page 433. They have also asked her to expand the second part to make it a series in two issues. I wanted to share the story with you because I thought it would encourage you. Your book has been so wonderful for our family and I am grateful you took the time to put it together.

--Warmly, Kate Kessler

Simply Grammar
by Charlotte Mason & Karen Andreola


	Simply Grammar: An Illustrated Primer Karen Andreola / Charlotte Mason Research / 1993

Even though I revised the book, I kept to Charlotte's format of teaching one grammar rule per lesson. The lessons can easily be kept short when no more than 10 to 15 minutes are spent on accompanying exercises. Because my children like pictures, I incorporated many large 19th-century ones into the exercises. They give the student ideas with which to create his own sentences that employ his new knowledge of grammar. The book's large print makes it comfortable for students and teacher to read along together. Much of the work can be done orally. Any of the work can also be used for written assignments. With Simply Grammar, you are at liberty to follow a pace that suits your circumstances and your child's ability. No diagramming is required. It is a several-year program that can be used during the fourth through eighth grades.
