Over the years, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what it would look like if modern-day writing instruction were fully informed by the classical rhetorical and poetic traditions.
So many great points! Kids are naturally mimetic, too, so that part should be easy for them. My toddler is already starting to sound like Jan Brett. My older kids sound like the poetry they memorize. Sometimes the modern schooling methods undo the good that we naturally gravitate toward.

Thanks for the kind words, Rachelle. Sounds like your children are heading in a great direction! All the best to you and them.
