Hi!
I read a little on CM and I really like her method for teaching other subjects besides Reading, Writing, and Math. In the mornings I have my 3 older kids read on their own then come and narrate-or orally summarize-what they read. I also 'sneak' home schooling subjects in by reading really good books in the pm. I do NOT however, like some of her methods of teaching children to read, except for dictation. Through experience when I taught professionally and currently with my own children, I've found that using phonics, dictation-CM suggests dictation, though-and wipe boards, my kids are becoming good readers. But for the most past, I definitely like her method-it is easy and saves a lot of work sheets and planning time, economical-I don't believe in breaking the bank, and can be done anytime, anywhere..
