Parent Review Articles for Book Club 2023-2024

-

Starting in 2015 we have had a group of homeschool moms reading through Charlotte Mason's volumes. I wrote a blog called My Ultimate Charlotte Mason Volume Resource Post to share suggestions of group discussions, breaking up a volume into monthly readings, and other encouragement for each volume.

This year our group will begin reading and discussing some Parent Review articles each month. I am a "read and take notes on real paper" kind of gal so all 336 pages of PR articles are available on Amazon! https://amzn.to/3qj37Jy
