Kfamily Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Dd (6th) has liked all that we have read so far but really liked Children of the New Forest, Viking Tales and In the Days of Queen Elizabeth. My younger dd loved For the Children's Hour. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaperjoys Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 We like the readers - there is a primer, first reader, second reader, and third reader. My son was able to read these much earlier than I would have thought, mostly because there was so much repetition in the text. Nicely done!

TMarie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 On the yesterdaysclassics website is a choice, over on the left, where you can view the books used by Ambleside. We've been happy with those recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
