This program is: - Something you can put on "auto pilot"-little to no preparation or input on your part- Quick (for kids who already have trouble sitting still for reading and math)- Not technical- InexpensiveWith these little books your faltering readers will quickly turn into competent, confident writers of sentences and paragraphs, something that is essential for those of us who enjoy to homeschool with notebooking. What level should my child be in? This level is for children who are reading whole words and sentences pretty well. If your child can read an en-tire Dr. Seuss book pretty easily, he's probably ready.

What level should my child be in? You won't want your child to attempt this level until he/she has a good understanding of the different types of sentences and has a basic grasp of punctuation. The best preparation for this fourth level is the first, second and third levels of Gentle Grammar.

The Lesson Book is meant to be something that brings peace and rest to moms while giving children more freedom and enjoyment in learning. This is not a workbook. Workbooks ask specific questions and require specific answers. This one is not about specifics, just about giving a framework so that you, the teacher, have less work to do. YOU decide what needs to be copied and dictated. Your child decides what is important enough to be recorded. In this way it becomes less of a "schoolbook" and more of a memory-keeper for actual learning. This level is for those children who are becoming more comfortable with reading and writing so they no longer need guidelines as in primary lessons. I love to use this one with the second half of the McGuffey Second Eclectic Reader (original version from Mott Media), but you could also use it with a simple book such as Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. For more on me, Sherry Hayes, and what I consider to be most important, visit my blog, Mom Delights (momdelights.com).

In this way, it becomes less of a "schoolbook" and more of a memory-keeper for actual learning. These pages can be used with the McGuffey readers or just about any other book you wish. They were formulated with the Charlotte Mason approach in mind, which includes copywork, narration, and dictation. This level is for those children who are fluent readers but are building on their vocabulary and writing skills.

This level is for those children who are confident readers and writers but need to be challenged in fluidity, complexity, and higher vocabulary. I love to use this one with the McGuffey's Sixth Eclectic Reader (revised version), but you could also use it with a challenging book such as Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. (Don't be afraid to mix things up and use this book for both at the same time.)For more on me, Sherry Hayes, and what I consider to be most important, visit my blog, Mom Delights (momdelights.com).

The Lesson Book is a series of non-workbooks developed for use with the McGuffey readers. They are meant to bring peace and rest to moms while allowing children more freedom and enjoyment in learning. Level one is for those learners who are beginning to understand the basics of word composition and are sounding out simple sentences. You could use this book with the McGuffey's Pictorial Eclectic Primer and McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader (original version from Mott Media)Typical workbooks ask specific questions and require specific answers.
