An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
A condensed version of Washington Irving’s extensive biography of George Washington, prepared specifically for young readers and schools. It follows Washington from his ancestry and childhood through his early military experiences, the American Revolution, and his public life, while also providing a narrative history of the events that shaped the founding of the United States.
