Being able to write and speak effectively are important language skills that many teachers and parents hope to instill in their students. This week, Andrew and Julie discuss copywork, narration, and dictation as practices to cultivate the arts of language in students. From increasing fluency in writing to exercising the memory, learn about the different benefits that each of these practices can have.
