Narration
Narration is a child telling back, in their own words, what they have just read or heard.
It is central to the Charlotte Mason method and is used in many other approaches. Young children narrate aloud; older children often write their narrations, which gradually become compositions.
For the record you keep
A dated written or transcribed narration is a simple, honest work sample, and a series of them shows growth across a year.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
