A Charlotte Mason Education by Catherine Levison is a distillation of the Charlotte Mason educational method into weekly schedule and a by-grade curriculum that will allow parents to employ the Mason principles in a systematic way.
Pros: Helps Charlotte Mason philosphy and practices feel less daunting and more approachable to someone considering this approach Cons: Some people don't like her style of writing, but I love it.
Grades Used: 1
This was the 4th book that I read about providing a Charlotte Mason education for my kids. I wanted to be able to “get my head around” Mason’s approaches and the spirit and reason behind them. I loved this book because it helped me feel like using Mason’s approaches was more within my reach than others I read. The book is very practical, provides great tips and helps you feel confident you understand what to do while trusting your intuition to make tweeks along the way for your specific family as needed. I felt like I was having coffee with an experienced friend who was explaining to me how to do this.
