Charlotte Mason
Sometimes referred to as the "Living Books Approach." The Charlotte Mason method is centered around the idea that education is three-pronged: An Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life. My favorite resources for this method are Ambleside Online and Simply Charlotte Mason Both feature ideas for narration, copywork and living books. Simply Charlotte Mason offers free "Book of the Centuries" and Manuscript Copywork pages as well.

Classical Education
The core of Classical Education is the trivium, which simply put is a teaching model that seeks to tailor the curriculum subject matter to a child’s cognitive development. The trivium emphasizes concrete thinking and memorization of the facts of the subjects in grade school; analytical thinking and understanding of the subjects in middle school; and abstract thinking and articulation of the subjects in high school.
