YMB #3 Reading in Morning Time: A Conversation with Brandy Vencel

Pam: This is Your Morning Basket where we help you bring Truth, Goodness, and Beauty to your homeschool day. Hi everyone, it’s Pam Barnhill, and welcome to episode 3 of the Your Morning Basket podcast. Today we’re talking about another one of those three ‘R’s of Morning Time, we’re talking about reading. And this can be a tricky subject because most homeschoolers read to their children in some way. So this begs the question how is reading aloud during Morning Time different from the reading aloud that you might do at other times of day with your family. To help me answer that question today, I have my good friend, Brandy Vencel. Brandy is someone who definitely spends a lot of time reading to her children. She follows the AmblesideOnline curriculum, she is a big proponent of the Charlotte Mason method of education, and she is here today to help us talk about how reading aloud in Morning Time looks a little bit different from the other reading that you might be doing, or how it could look a little bit different. A couple of the things that we do in today’s podcast that you can look forward to, we really talk about what Brandy’s Morning Time looks like, and then we talk about the reading in her Morning Time; what kinds of things does she read, for a family that spends a lot of their day reading how is the reading during Morning Time different and how does she make those choices.
