About this title

Synopsis

Classically Catholic Memory is a Catholic homeschool memory work program classical in nature, that guides parents and children in mastering challenging and inspiring material in eight subjects: Religion, Latin, History, Science, Math, Timeline, Geography, and Great Words. Memory work is simply the mastery of core facts in a given subject, or the mastery of a certain body of work (poetry or Scripture, for example).

Teacher Text: The Teacher Text contains introductory material explaining the importance of memory work to a classical education; a full explanation of the Classically Catholic Memory program; teaching techniques and strategies for each subject; the entire student text in a smaller size form; background information for subjects; suggested activities; and more.
