While gearing up for the school year I have been thinking about what tools have been indispensable for me. Ones I am truly thankful for. One is the Charlotte Mason Scripture Memory System. My oldest two children went through the AWANA program and learned so much scripture it was mind boggling. They only vaguely remember "hearing that before" as we stopped reviewing after the program ended for us. What a terrible shame on me. I taught the Word of the Lord to my children and planted it in their hearts, then neglected that garden and let it die. It is now gone from their minds.
One day while visiting Charlotte Masons site I stumbled upon her system. The light went on and the next weekend the Lord gave me everything needed(quite remarkable) for .35 at a garage sale. I love this system for these reasons.
1. My children ask to do it several times a day.
2. They are learning, on average, 2-3 passages a week.
3. Did I mention they enjoy memorizing scripture? Priceless.
4. I have a record of ALL verses the Lord has put in my children's hearts.
5. Easy to create and maintain
Every God-fearing household should have one of these(imo ;) I love it and thought I'd share.
