Unique & Fun! A Cursive Curriculum that Works! with Carrie Bailey // Master Books Podcast

Описание: Master Books Cursive Curriculum for Homeschool! Join host Jennifer White on the Master Books Podcast as she interviews author Carrie Bailey about her award-winning curriculum, Catch on to Cursive.

Carrie Bailey, a seasoned homeschool mom with a degree in early childhood education, shares how she developed the unique Master Books method to ensure academic success while strengthening your family’s biblical worldview and faith.

What makes Catch on to Cursive unique?
• The Whole Child Approach: This curriculum focuses on the "whole child," integrating social-emotional learning with academics. Carrie Bailey ensures children are developmentally ready and includes exercises to build the fine motor and postural muscles needed for writing stamina and success. This multi-sensory input helps learning stick.
• Fun Fishing Theme: The course uses a unique fishing theme and characters like Skeeter to make learning fun. Students learn letter placement using visual cues like the boat on the line (between the midline and baseline), the poll line (top line), and the hook line (below the baseline, in the water). Students join Club Skeeter and earn badges throughout the course.
• Biblical Foundation: The curriculum incorporates the Bible as its core. Each nine-week section focuses on a different theme, starting with "Fishers of Men", moving into the Creation of God (including evidence that disproves evolution), and exploring the Parables and the Beatitudes.

Age Range & Scheduling:
• Catch on to Cursive is written for a typical third-grade student, but is designed to be family-friendly.
• It includes a regular schedule (for 3rd through 6th grade) and an older schedule for high school students.
• The older student schedule moves faster and includes application ideas, such as transcribing paragraphs into cursive. Both schedules are included side-by-side in the book.
Homeschool Advice: Carrie Bailey encourages homeschool moms to "break the mold" of public education, prioritize grace, and recommends the powerful Master Books resource, Reset for Parents by Todd Friel, for its straightforward approach to training and discipling children.
