Why did you choose this?
I thought the individual stories were interesting and involved historical information that would incorporate that in with the reading studies.
CHRISTIAN LIBERTY READERS ARE GREAT FOR HAVING THE KIDS READ OUT LOUD TO ME. THE LESSONS ARE SHORT AND ARE FOLLOWED BY BRIEF COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS.
