Page Counts by Year and Term
How many pages were Charlotte Mason's students reading? Vol 6 pg 6 says, "Scholars. . . read in a term one, or two, or three thousand pages, according to their age, school and Form, in a large number of set books." And pg 241 says again that students "read in a term from one thousand to between two and three thousand pages, according to age and class, in a large number of set books."
If we assume younger ages (Form I, or first grade) started at the lower number (1000 pages per term), and older students (last year or two of high school) read the higher number (3000 pages per term), this is what the graduated page count might look like:
Year 1: 1000 pages per 12-week term (83 pgs per week)
Year 2: 1200 pages per 12-week term (100 pgs per week)
Year 3: 1400 pages per 12-week term (117 pgs per week)
Year 4: 1600 pages per 12-week term (133 pgs per week)
Year 5: 1800 pages per 12-week term (150 pgs per week)
Year 6: 2000 pages per 12-week term (167 pgs per week)
Year 7: 2200 pages per 12-week term (183 pgs per week)
Year 8: 2400 pages per 12-week term (200 pgs per week)
Year 9: 2600 pages per 12-week term (217 pgs per week)
Year 10: 2800 pages per 12-week term (233 pgs per week)
Year 11: 3000 pages per 12-week term (250 pgs per week)
Year 12: 3000 pages per 12-week term (250 pgs per week)
AO Page Counts by Term
Following is a listing of page counts for the books in AO's curriculum updated Apr 2023 for Years 1 to 6, and for the Basic/Lite versions of Years 7-11, where options had been pre-selected that enabled a real page count to be done. Year 12 was not counted because that Year was kept intentionally light to accommodate students who might be dual enrolled, working part time, or otherwise occupied.
Page counts were done by finding the number of words per line in a book (taken by counting words in twelve line samples and getting an average), then counting lines in the book and multiplying by the number of words per line to get a fair estimate of how many words are in the book. Etexts available online were pasted into a word editing program that displays how many words are in the document. Books vary as to how many words are on an average page, ranging from 250 to 500, but 320-360 was most common, and since An Island Story uses about 320 words per page and we know Charlotte Mason used that book in her schools and wrote how many pages of that book she used in various Forms, we used a uniform 320 words per page. By dividing the total estimated words of a book by 320, we were able to get uniform page numbers.
Imagining that every AO book could be printed with the same typeface and size of An Island Story, this is what AO's page count would be. Plutarch's Lives (one per term) would add 35-55 pages to the term, and a Shakespeare play would add 46-95 pages to the term.

Page Counts By Week
What does that look like in a week? Here are page counts for week 7, week 15 and week 29 (a week for each term) for every AO Year. Plutarch and Shakespeare combined would add 7-13 pages per week. Charlotte Mason assigned reading over weekends and long holiday breaks, and those wouldn't have been scheduled during a regular school week. The numbers are still useful for perspective.)
Year 1 CM's page count: 83 pgs/week
week 7: 26-29 pages
week 15: 39 pgs pages
week 29: 47-54 pages
Year 2 CM's page count: 100 pgs/week
week 7: 68-72 pages
week 15: 57-61 pages
week 29: 60-64 pages

week 7: 219-224 pgs
week 15: 180 pgs
week 29: 152-160 pgs
By CM standards, it appears that AO's pages counts are 20-40 percent too low, but that's easily corrected with the addition of free reading, by using the regular AO years instead of Basic/Lite Years 7-11, and including more salad bar options.
