I did a giveaway awhile ago and a review of the Early America Classical Library from Heritage History. Well, I made a video that I’d like to share with you. This library is one of the largest available at this time from Heritage History, with over 80 books!
Why’d I make a video? I’ve not done one before and wanted to try a video review to see how it would turn out. I’ll admit, I’m a bit long-winded but I enjoyed it! I also wanted to share a bit more of how we use it in our homeschool. We use this library in conjunction with curriculum that we use. We have used Ambleside Online’s (Charlotte Mason method) free online curriculum for three years. We love it but we also enjoy reading in general and learning more about history. Heritage History makes that easy and enjoyable.
The video is 14:30 long. There is a lot in this library. If you have any questions about the library, ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.
In the video I attempt to show you how I decide which books to use and why. It also highlights the categorization of the books by genre (Bible stories, Biography, Science and Invention, etc.), subject area (Regional History, Military History, American Indians, etc.), as well as reading level (Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced). You’ll get to see the format of the ebooks on the computer as well as on the Kindle. Throughout the video, I try to give reasons that we enjoy reading from this library, and actually many of the books from Heritage History’s collection. Briefly, I discuss the ease of printing the ebooks from the CD as well as the very helpful guide for downloading these onto various ereaders (Kindle, mobipocket, iPad, etc.).
Thanks for watching!
