Ep 13 - Teaching Through Story: A Gentle Guide to Living Books- with Anthony Coafield


Listen Later

You know that moment when your child lights up during a story—the kind where their imagination takes off and they start seeing themselves inside the world of the book? That's the power of a living book.

I've touched on living books in quite a few of my chats this season, but I figured it was time we gave them their own spotlight. What are they really? Why do they work so well? And how can you start using them more intentionally in your homeschool?

In my recent podcast conversation with Anthony Coafield from Living Book Press, we dug into all of that. We talked about why living books aren't just beautiful to read—they're seriously effective learning tools. Whether you're deep into Charlotte Mason philosophy or just looking for a better way to bring history, science, or literature to life, this episode is one you'll want to tune in to.

🎧 In the episode, we talk about:

  • Why living books matter (and how they build connection)
  • What to look for when choosing books for your homeschool
  • How Anthony uses living books in his own family
  • The beautiful role of modelling lifelong learning for our kids
