Timberdoodle's review

Language Lessons for Little Ones 1
Introduce your children's young minds, as early as three to five years old, to the Charlotte Mason method of language arts. Straightforward, child-friendly lessons provide 180 daily opportunities to teach picture studies, introduction to the letters of the alphabet, poetry and story appreciation, and more.

Charlotte Mason: Learning In Context
As soon as the review copies of these books arrived I was smitten. This is the finest implementation of the Charlotte Mason method of instruction I have ever seen. If you are new to home education, the Charlotte Mason (1842-1923) name may not be familiar to you. A British educator who devoted her life to improving the quality of children's education, to Charlotte Mason, language arts skills consisted of narration, the child telling back a story, copywork, the transcribing of a wellwritten piece of literature as handwriting practice, and dictation, which is spelling and grammar taught within the context of rich language instead of static lists.

From Theory To Ready To Use
Sandi Queen has done an excellent job of combining those lesson essentials, and even if she had stopped there it would have been a fine program. But instead, she takes the series from satisfactory to exceptional by adding delightful flourishes that include picture studies with full-color paintings, basic phonics instruction, poetry appreciation and writing, creative writing, and much more.

Full Color Paintings Make These Books Sparkle
It is the gorgeous reproduction of notable paintings that will first catch your eye. True to the Charlotte Mason philosophy, the picture studies are based on classic works of art, introducing the child to the paintings of great artists, encouraging him to study them by asking pertinent questions, and then asking for a narration of what he has observed.

Very Short Lessons Cover Lots Easily
Likewise characteristic of the Charlotte Mason approach, each lesson takes a scant five to fifteen minutes a day. This increases a bit with age, but is never as time-consuming as you will find in the more staid programs typical of government schools. And Language Lessons doesn't try to do everything everyday, which alleviates the tedium associated with other language arts programs. I know many mothers who struggle under the multiple pressures of parenting and educating, to say nothing of their responsibilities as wives and Christ followers. But I don't know any mother who is too busy to use this program. Each book is a large, consumable, perfect-bound paperback, containing 180 lessons, and in full color.

I'm so glad I took the plunge and ordered it	July 29, 2009
Reviewer: Keeley B. from Franklin, TN

My 4-year old took one look at the Language Lessons for Little Ones and wanted to do a lesson right away. One lesson stretched to SEVEN lessons before he was done for the day. WOW! I'm so glad I took the plunge and ordered it. It's really fabulous. =)...

...So anyway, we've been having just a delightful time with the shipment of books. I'm so very impressed with your company. The confirmation email came immediately, the books were shipped out very quickly, and arrived in absolutely excellent condition. Thank you so very much.

Whole-heartedly endorse these books!	October 23, 2008
Reviewer: Karen B. from Cardington, OH

We love the Language Lessons series by Sandi Queen! She's done a very nice job of picking out interesting quotes, stories, etc. for children to copy. The pictures are absolutely fantastic!! We use these for all of our children who are school age and will continue to use them for our younger ones. I used to have the kids copy different things I picked out, but a I got busier I wanted to find something that would do the same thing I was doing, but I didn't find anything I liked. I was thrilled to find these and was so happy to see Timberdoodle start to offer these. I whole-heartedly endorse these books by Sandi Queen, You won't be disappointed.
