| Our customers have asked, and we have responded! Are you wanting to follow Charlotte Mason's methods for your homeschool, but feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the choices that we offer? Due to popular request, we have taken the work and confusion out of choosing for you by creating our new "Easy Charlotte Mason Method Packs." Each pack contains everything you need to teach an entire school year for one student. All you will need to add is your favorite Bible study program (we have several under "Bible Studies" that you may hoose from), and your favorite math program (we use and recommend Math-U-See, which you can find at http://www.mathusee.com.) Because we have over twenty years of homeschooling experience with our own six children, we know that each child is an individual. Therefore, all of the books we publish are usable for a wide variety of ages, and we have chosen NOT to put a grade level equivalency on them. That is why our packs are called "Pack A", "Pack B", and so on. This shows a natural progression, but does not lock any pack into a particular grade level. So, which pack should you choose? We recommend placing your child by the description of the Language Lessons book in the pack. This is the least flexible of the products in each pack, and the most skill-specific. If you would like to check out any of the individual items in each pack separately, you may do so on our site, as we also carry all of these items individually. Also, the packs are not flexible - meaning, we will not "mix and match" books in packs. If you want a pack, buy a pack. If you don't want everything offered in a pack, please order the items you do want separately instead. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the inclusive nature of our Easy Packs, individual items contained in any of the Easy Packs are non-returnable. We are happy to make the choice less overwhelming for you, by providing these new "Easy Charlotte Mason Method Packs."
