This is good to know. We are on an extremely tight budget this year, but I didn’t want to forgo the reading because of it.
Do you know of year 1 audio links listed somewhere?
Yes- on the AmblesideOnline website for year 1- the website was recently updated to add them. Look carefully on the page, and you will see that some resources have a Greek symbol that looks like tiny headphones after the title of the resource. That means there is a free audio resource available- click on it, and the link will take you there.=)
