CHOOSING COURSES

AGE SUITABILITY OF MATER AMABILIS COURSES

 

Many of the individual courses could be used successfully with children across a wider age range. These tables give an at-a-glance indication of age suitability. Please bear in mind that this is a judgement call on our part. We have not tested these books at different Levels.      

 

Use these tables to decide which course(s) would be appropriate if:

  • you want your child to study a particular topic

  • you want two or more children to study the same course
