Downunder Literature

Providing homeschool resources of enduring value

This is a more general dictation guide with dictation examples from literature used all over the world.

The goal of this book is to teach you how to apply the useful method of dictation based on the teachings of Ruth Beechick and Charlotte Mason. It also gives  suggestions to help you extend this resource to cover other areas of language arts study. The dictation lessons are all based on excerpts from whole or ‘living’ books, dating from 1769-2007.  They include: classic fiction, poetry, songs, biographies and studies of nature . Passages have been carefully selected from a broad range of good literature. These extracts introduce your student ‘mind to mind’ with the author. They are educational, encouraging, uplifting and will bring delight to you and your students.

We hope that, in using this material, you will be introduced to some wonderful books and writings of which you were previously unaware. 

Age Range: 8-12
