I was not homeschooled, and don't and didn't homeschool any children, so I am not familiar with what's going on in the movement, what resources are available, etc.. But this looked like a good thing. I hope that people "in the know," on this thread, about such things will let others on this thread know their opinion of the offer below.
"The Erskine Family" has a website called
HomeschoolFreebie.com, which has homeschool resources, offers advice and information to homeschoolers, and things like that. I am familiar with The Erskine Family and some of the things that they do, and my impression is that they are just good folks who want to help people.
Through April 17, they are offering a 9-volume library of Charlotte Mason style and Classical Education "educational treasures," including the following:
- Outdoor games & activities
- Nature projects and stories
- Great Literature & Poetry
- Music & Art History and Appreciation
- Character Building Stories & Activities
- Famous Speeches and Letters
- Communication, Rhetoric & Logic Skills
- Biographical sketches of famous men of long ago
- Bible verses in Latin (with the English alongside) for copywork
- Lesson Plans, Schedules and helpful Teaching Tips
- Much, much more.
The signup webpage says that there are over 1,300 pages of material.
All of the resources are apparently in the PDF format.
The entire library, normally priced at $67, is
free, again through April 17. The way that this works is that people who sign up for the offer will receive one volume each week as they released this Spring. You'll get a link to the first volume when you sign up.
Signing up is not onerous at all--just give your name and email address.
A
website which gives much more information, and from which you can sign up for the offer.
