Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos on the Charlotte Mason Method. My question is, can this method work for a student who is not at "grade" level, or an older student (junior high, freshman) who struggles with reading and writing skills? Thank you.

Absolutely, @belle0074. The beauty of this method is that you can pull passages from reading material at your student's reading level -- whatever that level may be.

By the way, we have a great discussion forum on our site that you might want to check out. I'm sure the other homeschoolers there would be happy to help with specifics if you want to discuss it some more.

Just curious - I have done this with my 12 year old. She spells everything correctly each time, but can never seem to get the puncuation correct. Should I worry about that right now or just correct each time and she will get better?

Thanks! I love your site and newsletters!

Thank you for your reply. I will be visiting your discussion forum. I'm a little nervous about putting aside the text books, but the more I read on Charlotte Mason , the more I really want to give it a go.
