More often than not, the limitation of time you have at home or the medical reason enforces you to place a hard decision on your children education in which they should run their education at home, unlike others.

The book is very easy for follow for a non-educator such as myself and most importantly, it's effective!
This is very user friendly and is set out in lessons with the objective...
