Stories are the very marrow of homeschooling, especially Waldorf-inspired homeschooling. They bring us together for a beautiful shared experience and offer new ideas and learning through narrative and imagination.
Reading stories together is joyful and cozy, meaningful and simple!
From birth through early childhood and as your child grows through the grades, stories are a valuable tool for teaching and building connections. Connections to each other, the natural world, and communities near and far.
Enjoy this heartwarming discussion! You’ll walk away inspired with new tools and ideas to approach the magic of reading books and sharing stories in your homeschool.
Communication must be from soul to soul.
