All lessons are audio recorded, enabling the student to hear the pronunciation of every word and sentence. The beginning material is organized into year levels. Each year level is equivalent to one year of high school. However, children can complete a year's level as an elementary or junior high school student. Students as young as seven years of age can begin the program.
Progress is dependent upon the number of hours and days dedicated to the lessons.
Our recommendation is to spend three one-half hour sessions per week at a minimum. Parents may take the lessons with their children as a family activity, but it is not necessary. Students can take the lessons by themselves enabling the parents to spend their time with other siblings or in the preparation of material for other courses, as the audio presentations guide the students through the lessons. In surveys conducted every few years by the Practical Home Schooling Magazine the readers vote the textbooks they regard to be outstanding. Kathy Fisher, Homeschooler's Resource Directory.
