You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 24.

Welcome to Skalais Sisters, the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama, who seeks to learn and grow while she's helping her children learn and grow.

Scalae Sisters is a casual conversation about topics that matter to those of us in the trenches

of classical homeschooling who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all

done.

I'm your host, Brandy Vensel. You can find me at Afterthoughts. That's my main blog.

And also teaching reading with Bob books, which is where I keep my line of printable phonics lessons.

You can hear more from me on my other podcast, Aftercast.

My co-hosts today are Pam Barnhill and Misty Winkler.

Pam is an author, speaker, blogger at Pam Barnhill.com,

and you'll probably recognize her from her two popular podcasts,

homeschool snapshots and your morning basket.

Misty is a second generation homeschooler with five kids and too many projects.

She writes about practical classical homeschooling at Simply Convial

and about organizing attitudes at simplified organization.

This summer on our Facebook page, we shared an article from the Atlantic on memorization,

exploded.

Our conversation became this podcast episode.
