AmblesideOnline - Year 7 Overview

"Give children a wide range of subjects, with the end in view of establishing in each case some one or more of the relations I have indicated. Let them learn from first-hand sources of information--really good books, the best going, on the subject they are engaged upon. Let them get at the books themselves . . ."
Charlotte Mason, Volume 3, p. 162
