About Me
My name is Laura Lund and I have been homeschooling "officially"
since 2005, when my first child reached kindergarten age. I have a BA
in Linguistics and have always loved reading and learning. I was
energized when I read The Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer
and Jessie Wise. The classical
model of education, with its heavy focus on literature and language, is
is exactly the sort of education I want my children to have.
In our homeschooling journey we've used an assortment of programs in
my search for the "perfect" one. While there were great things
about each of the options we tried, there was always something I had to
tweak. I'm tired of tweaking and editing on the fly! I'm
tired of programs that require prep work! I'm tired of the lack of
a secular literature program! With five children, I
need time savers! My favorite programs are pretty much
open-and-go. The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer and
its accompanying activity guides are what I had in mind when I wrote
Classical House of Learning Literature.
I'm also a fan of simplicity. While big projects can be fun,
it's overwhelming to have too many--particularly if such projects
require extensive preparation, unusual supplies, and a big mess.
The activities included in my programs are purposely simple in design,
with the expectation that you will pick and choose the options that
appeal to you and your children. Likewise, when I chose the
reading selections including in my literature program, I focused on
using
well-known and respected pieces of classic literature.
I hope you enjoy my program!
