CM 3 #12 The Art of Recitation

Recitation has been called the Children's Art. Arthur Burrell, author of Clear Speaking and Good Reading, called it so when he wrote an article, "Recitation: The Children's Art", for The Parents' Review magazine back in 1890. Recitation is a skill that used to be taught in schools many years ago, but thankfully, through our homeschooling opportunities, we can bring it back into the lives of our children, and maybe even ourselves. We can learn to speak beautifully, clearly, and share great ideas of authors that inspire and kindle our hearts.
