Step into Narration with Aesop’s Fables

A free Charlotte Mason guide to begin narration with confidence.

Narration is at the heart of a Charlotte Mason education — the simple act of telling back in a child’s own words. It builds attention, memory, and expression, and it begins as early as age six.

This free guide will walk you step-by-step through your very first narration lesson using Aesop’s classic fable The Fox and the Grapes. Inside you’ll find:

• A short introduction to narration — what it is and how to begin
• A simple script you can use to invite your child into the practice.
• The full text of The Fox and the Grapes, with a vintage illustration.
• Step-by-step instructions for leading the narration.
• Encouragement and reflection for moms.

✨ Free to download — ready to use in your homeschool today.

Because every child can step into the art of narration — one short fable at a time.
