2. Notation on Audiobooks: While links to sound books are added as a courtesy, Miss Mason's arroyo to grammar and composition is heavily dependent upon the children receiving an immense corporeality of visual exposure to the written word over many years, then parents should exercise extreme circumspection in how many audiobooks they use each year. Our brains but work differently when we see the words.

For children who have difficulty reading, one solution is to have them follow the audio version forth in a written text.
Librivox gratis audio is done past volunteers, and some are better than others. Heidi Nash has a list of some favorite Librivox readers. Be aware that apps, including Librivox, that have clickable ads can open a browser and allow children unfiltered access to the internet, even when browsers accept been disabled by the parent. At that place are options: either download mp3 files from Librivox and listen without the app, or merely install the app on a parent-controlled device. Librivox has a pay option to turn off ads.

Cindy Rollins did a Circe Mason Jar podcast that included the role of audiobooks with hard books.

4. Timeline: At this age, students should be keeping a simple, single-page timeline of major events and a Volume of Centuries. Read an Advisory member's weblog postal service about early timelines at Wendi Wanders. Instructions for making your own timelines and charts are included in these Parents' Review manufactures: Book of the Centuries; Instruction Chronology; The Correlation of Lessons. For more details almost the why, when, how of keeping CM timelines (and other notebooks), nosotros recommend Laurie Bestvater's volume, The Living Page ($amzn). 2 Book of Centuries options: (£) (£) (Dorsum)

vi. Bible: Bible Gateway has many versions of the Bible online. It is preferable for a child to become accustomed to the linguistic communication and menstruation of the King James Version of the Bible, as a familiarity with Rex James English language volition make other literature more accessible. Please read Lynn Bruce'southward commodity on the King James Version.
The weekly schedule lists readings taken from J. Paterson Smyth's commentaries, with Old Testament readings focusing on the kings and prophets in Israel, and New Testament on the first part of the life of Christ from all the gospels in harmony. Not every week has assignments from both OT and NT. (see AO's Bible program) Charlotte Mason taught with commentaries, reading the Bible passage first, and so narration, then reading the commentary, but Smyth's commentaries may reverberate the doctrine of their era and denomination; they are not necessary to follow the Bible schedule. You can follow this schedule without commentary, or choose your ain.

This Country of Ours is our first choice for this term's US history book, and is used in all terms. The 'OR' options are world history selections; they are not an adequate substitute for this book. Year five uses the capacity that cover the time menstruum betwixt 1783-1914. Exist aware that the edition for sale from Wilder Publications has no Table of Contents or chapter numbers. Public domain texts are available for anyone to copy, paste and publish, and many new companies are springing upwards publishing and selling these texts without editing for typos.

14. Story of the World: The historical books that were recommend for Years 1-half dozen such as An Island Story, A Child'south History of the World, Abraham Lincoln's World, The Story of Flesh were carefully selected based on literary quality and availability for those historical periods and we believe that Susan Wise Bauer'south Story of the World Volume iv is the all-time book for the twentieth century that meets that same criteria. The book is not used until Term 3. To help with your planning, a table of contents for this book, with loose dates.
What Anybody Should Know Almost the 20th Century, Axelrod, Phillips ($amzn)
Full title is What Anybody Should Know About the 20th Century: 200 Events That Shaped the World, by Alan Axelrod and Charles Phillips. This volume went out of print and has been replaced in our schedule, past The Story of the World Volume iv The Mod Age, by Susan Wise Bauer. However, if you accept this volume, yous can still apply it.
In the first years of AO, the Advisory did not feel that at that place was an adequate children's level volume bachelor on the 20th century. "What everyone should know about the 20th century" is written for adults. We scheduled a number of the curt chapters for yr half-dozen. Chapters not selected may take fabric deemed inappropriate for students, and parents should continue that in heed when giving the volume to their children.
Parents may wish to read surrounding chapters to the capacity assigned. For instance, the affiliate about the Moon Walk concludes on the page that a affiliate on Woodstock begins. The Advisory did endeavour to notation any questionable wording in the chapters recommended. Parents should preview capacity where possible, as the author occasionally displays a bias that would not exist adequate to all families. This book has no photos - Parents are encouraged to select appropriate [not-graphic] photos of the century to show to their children, after they have read about the events ahead of time, in their context. This book was originally used in year 5 and half dozen.
This volume has gone out of print; AO support grouping members take worked on a compendium that may be used. Y'all tin can see that hither.
Term 3: The United States Goes to War with Kingdom of spain (1898)--The Treaty of Versailles Ends the Dandy War (1919)

20. Trial and Triumph: Descriptions of some trials of the Christians may be intense; parents should preview chapters to decide suitability based on their children's sensitivities. If you prefer, y'all can skip this book and cover church building history in Years 7-9 with a different book, Saints and Heroes, by George Hodges.
This book tells church building history from a definite Protestant perspective; some families may wish to skip this book or notice an culling.
Trial and Triumph used to be online, merely at present merely a sample of the book is available online. This is what we used to post about the online posting: Google Books does accept permission from Canon Press to accept Trial and Triumph in full online. Here is a statement from Canon Press: "I believe nosotros have extended permission to them to display that title. Plain we would beloved for folks to purchase hard copies just nosotros sympathise the limitations of many folks. If they do benefit from the online version though, we would be grateful for some sort of review whether it exist on a blog, on Amazon, or on our ain website. Thanks for contacting us to check. We really appreciate it." - David Hoos, Canon Printing - Customer Service world wide web.canonpress.com (Back)

21. The Backbone and Character of Theodore Roosevelt is a reprint of Carry a Large Stick. The content of both books is the same, but the folio numbers are slightly different. You can see table of contents for both editions. (Back)

22. The Consummate Volume of Marvels is a combination of two books: The Occident, and The Orient (come across contents). Both have been reprinted by Living Books Press. There'south a list of suggested supplemental videos for volume i at Wonder and Wildness blog
Notation that in The Orient, ch eight - The Slave City, Halliburton talks in a humorous vein about the purchase of two children from a slave market. The credible callousness is shocking and difficult to read. Halliburton's travelling companion at the fourth dimension says this never happened, and his own travel notes betoken that information technology did not happen. Instead this was a quick story he told off the gage to a grouping of reporters. It's not articulate who added information technology to the book, equally his male parent helped with quite a scrap of the editing. It is clear information technology didn't trouble his editors, publshers, or reviewers at the time. The Orient was published in 1938 and past March of 1939 Halliburton was missing, presumed dead. We do not accept whatever way of knowing if his views and attitudes, and those of his editors, would accept changed over time in step with the rest of the west.
Flake Deffaa, who retraced Halliburton's adventures in 1973, wrote, "To my surprise and amazement, I discovered his letters had been highly edited (doctored would be a better word) by his father before publication. Lines were changed, deleted, added. Not all of Halliburton'due south adventures took place every bit he described them. For example, he wrote that he had bought and sold slaves in Timbuktu, when in reality he had left the city in a rush to escape the flies. The slaves were an afterthought, a story he tried out on reporters at his hotel suite in Paris. They loved information technology." Read the article here. The chapter is scheduled in Twelvemonth half-dozen.
Child's Geography of the Earth by Virgil Hillyer ($amzn) (contents here) is likewise good, but out of print as well.

Christian Liberty Nature Reader Book Covers

32. Madam How and Lady Why: This year, the 2nd half of the book is covered:
Term one: The Chalk-Carts, Madam How'south 2 Grandsons, The Coral Reef
Term ii: Field and Wild, The Earth'south End
Term iii: Homeward Bound
Anne White has formatted the text with her study notes into separate volumes. Volume one, "A Walk Through the Glen," is scheduled in Yr 4. Volume two, "Farther Afield," is scheduled in Yr 5.
Farther Afield text with a few edits (mostly for comments that would be considered racist past today's standards) for your student to read forth.
The text with Anne White'south written report guide which is linked above is recommended but non required. If you prefer just the original book without the study guide or edits, it is available at these links: Project Gutenberg β α ($amzn) (£) (£amzn) Ω K Schedule that lines up with Anne's written report guide
Madam How and Lady Why is scheduled slowly over two years. This is an earth science volume; if you use the study guide, yous'll run across that it takes time to adequately comprehend the field of study affair. Researching the topics is what makes this useful as a science book.

Of what value is an sometime science volume like Madam How and Lady Why? Apart from the superior writing quality, the best thing yous tin can exit of onetime science books is a strong sense that scientific discipline is a constantly changing thing, and that the "scientific prove/theory/conclusion" of today can exist debunked in a year, or two, or x. Children should learn to take the words "Scientists recollect . . ." for exactly what they are worth (ever worth because, but never to be considered the final word). Reading older books will aid you develop that sense.
Annotation on Kingsley's "old earth" comments: During the era when Madam How and Lady Why was written, there was no "young earth" discussion out there: evidence seemed to show an sometime earth, and the Church building of England (Charles Kingsley was a clergyman), mostly, accepted a kind of theistic evolution.
This volume is invaluable for understanding the deeper ideas of how to approach science. If you do nada else with this book, at the very least, read the preface and chapter eight (Madam How's Ii Sons) -- that's the blank minimum, but, actually, this whole book is truly worthwhile. Some parents are hesitant to utilize this book because of outdated scientific discipline information; continue in mind that any is current, accurate and up to date changes all the time. Even if you buy a current science book today, there is material in it that is already out of date and volition be defunct next year. Some scientific discipline teachers complain that in some areas what is currently held every bit truthful changes so fast that they think science would be best taught using science journals as the text, and fifty-fifty then, in some topics, over half of what is published in journals ends up being retracted later. Just that's information, and information technology's easy to correct outdated data. The ideas in this book are the foundation of a CM philosophy. This is a book to read together with your kids, to discuss, to research together. Some of the style of the writing can be off-putting, but that is also something that could become an reward: utilise it equally a writing or narration project, asking your student to 'retell what the author is getting at, but in current terms.'

34. 'The Story of Inventions' and 'Great Inventors and Their Inventions' are the same book. 'The Story of Inventions' is online, except for the final ii chapters, which were a afterward improver and nevertheless copyrighted. The online edition does not accept the two later capacity. If y'all take the 2nd edition, the chapter order may non friction match the AO schedule. AO member Amy H. posted a revised list on her weblog here. Great Inventors and Their Inventions, by Frank P. Bachman is an earlier version of the aforementioned volume. If you have a copy, you can substitute. Or, boys might savor War Inventions, by Charles R. Gibson (the Advisory hasn't read this all the same.)

37. Poesy: How do you lot "do" poetry? But read it and enjoy it, re-read information technology, read it again and listen to the sound of the phrases, let them pigment a word picture in your mind. Do yous feel like y'all need more direction?

40. King Arthur: Students should have some familiarity with King Arthur in preparation for Year vii. Roger Lancelyn Dark-green volition exist easier for students to read on their own; if you utilize Pyle'south, you lot may need to read it aloud. Alternately, you may use Andrew Lang'southward Rex Arthur, which is available online, and has audio available at Librivox. A 12-week schedule for Lang's is provided. Or, if you have The Male child'south King Arthur, by Sidney Lanier, you may opt to employ that, although, for scheduling, it doesn't suspension downwardly as neatly into the 12-calendar week term. It's also more than difficult to read than Green's. The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by James Knowles is also a worthy translation, and also online. Howard Pyle's has a sequel, Champions of the Round Table, for students who want more than King Arthur tales. NOTE: Editions non specifically for children (including John Steinbeck's) may be racy and not family unit-friendly. Malory and Caxton, the earliest editions, on which all others are based, can be graphically explicit nigh knights' exploits with ladies. AO provides a comparison of these texts, the role where Arthur is given the sword Excalibur, for you to compare.
Regarding Howard Pyle's addition of Arthur bearded as a gardener's boy wearing a cap to hide an ugly place on his head: compare to the Grimm's fairy tale, "Iron Hans." (Dorsum)

Term three: ch 25 (Arion) to ch 28 (Agamemnon-Troy) (Back)

46. Free Reading books are books that no child should miss, simply rather than overloading schoolhouse time, these can be read during free fourth dimension. No narrations need be required from these books. Informational member Wendi C. suggests, "How you lot handle these is upward to you..." (more) Parents should too explain to students that historical fiction, while frequently well-researched, is still fiction, and contains the author's ideas of how things might have happened. Books with asterisks pertain to that term's historical studies. (Dorsum)
