How to Add Poetry to Your Homeschool Day from Bright Ideas Press
Back in the “olden days”, memorization was a big part of school. They memorized poems, essays, books, and documents.

Our first son was a precocious learner—he was reading at four years old, and before long he was two years ahead of his age group in math.
