“What is your interview about today, Mom?”
“I’m talking with my friend Amy Sloan about memory work in our homeschooling.”
“Memory work?! Mom! You called me the wrong name three times just this morning!”
“This is why I need help.”
My son may not believe it, but memory work is possible — even for me! That’s because Amy has a whole different perspective on it than do most people — especially my son.
| Amy Sloan and her husband John are 2nd-generation homeschoolers to 5 children from 6 to 16 years old. The Sloan family adventures together in NC where they pursue a restfully-classical education. If you hang out with Amy for any length of time you’ll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes. At any moment she could break into song and dance from Hamilton, 90s country music, or Shakespeare. Amy writes at HumilityandDoxology.com and hosts the weekly “Homeschool Conversations” podcast. |
I love what Amy has to say about memorizing. She reframed the concept and made this something beautiful and practical … and even easy.
It is simple. Here’s what she tells us:
- what is memory work, really
- what kinds of things we can memorize
- how we can do memory work with all ages
- how to easily incorporate it into just a few minutes a day
- and more!
In this episode:
- free memory printables
- Amy’s playlists of Shakespeare shorts
- “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll
- “Death Be Not Proud” by John Donne
- my favorite book by Shel Silverstein
