I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Are you considering homeschooling this fall?  If you're new to the idea and looking for a neat way to get started, let me suggest looking into Progeny Press and their classic literature study guides.  Learning has a lot more to do with engagement and connection than it does with facts and figures.  All homeschoolers struggle to remember this from time to time, especially when you're new. ...
