Jennifer Pepito is a homeschool mom of 7 with 30 years of homeschool experience, the author of Mothering by the Book, Habits for a Sacred Home, and the founder of the Peaceful Press. At the core of her homeschool ethos is a desire to learn language arts through living literature that inspires the dreamer, the warrior, and the creator in each of our children.
Episode 124 dives deeper into Jennifer's principles for learning language arts. She walks you through what she did and how it benefited her children, the science behind learning language arts through a more Charlotte Mason-oriented approach, and how to make it work for you and your family if you're not sure where to start.
