"I have all booklets in the series. Each thoroughly addresses the topic in a concise format. I find that because they are booklets on specific topics rather than chapters in one book I am somehow more likely to remember them as a resource on my bookshelf. I look at them every now and then, either to confirm that I am on the right track, or to get guidance and ideas in areas we haven't covered that well. They are helpful too when working out our curriculum for the next year. I have lent some of these booklets to family members - not too much for them to read and says it all much better than I can!" Martina, homeschooling mum

"I loved the book on the spelling process... I watch my daughter spelling things 'her way' now - she' s getting so much better without any formal work." Louise Wilton

"Thanks so much! We use all your booklets all the time - at the moment we have 10 children and 2 facilitators in our natural learning centre here in Goa, India... greatly soothed and nurtured and by your guidance and wisdom." Anna Jahns
