About this episode
This episode discusses five core habits of grammar that empower homeschool moms to teach any subject with confidence.
Do you ever feel like you're not qualified enough to teach your kids? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Kelli Wilt and Amy Jones sit down to explore how Classical Conversations' five core habits of grammar — naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling — can transform the way homeschool moms approach any subject, including geography. Whether you're in Foundations or beyond, these practical tools will give you the confidence to teach well without needing to be the expert. Kelli Wilt, Lead of Program Development for Classical Conversations Multimedia and longtime CC director and tutor, walks through each habit with real-life examples — from how children name stuffed animals to how National Memory Master finalists draw the entire world from memory. You'll come away with a fresh perspective on why classical education works and how to put it into practice at your kitchen table today. Kelli and Amy also discuss how the five core habits apply far beyond geography — from chemistry labs to literature — equipping your children with lifelong learning skills that go with them wherever God leads.
