Recommendations and Reviews of Trivium Pursuit Products

Hello Harvey and Laurie, I wanted to tell you something of encouragement.  I know you likely followed the plan of your own book, Teaching the Trivium, and we did, too, as best we could.  Our daughter, Cara, first won our county spelling bee and then our regional bee and will represent the Topeka Capital Journal at Nationals in June.  She is 13 and now has had 3 years of Latin and one year of Greek, using your Hupogrammon and Little Bitty Baby Learns Greek (to copy letters).  She and her younger sister also take a daily dose of the Handy English Encoder/Decoder, and love to have a logic lesson from the books by Nathaniel and Hans.  We delayed formal math and concentrated on language development and reading, and I am so glad we did.  Not because she won the spelling bee, but because this approach has enabled them to be self-learners.  And they love to learn. They are progressing nicely in math, gaining concepts much more quickly now than sooner. They love their classes, because they can understand them or ask helpful questions when they do not.  I LOVED your approach - a Christ centered education - when I read your book years ago.  I wanted to thank you again.  How can we teach our children about our universe, our earth, our life, and yet not center on the Lord?  Impossible.  I just wanted you to know how God has used you in our lives, and how, in this fun way, he has used you to help Cara in His purpose for her life. Not all of our children are as equipped for language as she is, so I doubt that we are beginning a family trend.  But, they are all much better in language than they would have been, to their great benefit. May you have a happy, precious Lord's Day, Catherine Knapp, Seneca, KS

I'm really enjoying your book. I just finished the chapter in which I learned my first words. Actually, it's funny, because I used one of the words (logos) in a newsletter I started publishing. I'm actually learning more English grammar with Homeschool Greek than with my English books! Sincerely, Caeleb Brown (age 14)
