A Charlotte Mason Education: A Home Schooling How-To Manual Review: New to Charlotte Mason - I was somewhat familiar with CM's method, but had never read about it in depth so I purchased this book to get a quick overview of Charlotte Mason's teaching philosophy. I have been homeschooling for over 5 years and wanted to know a bit more about her method, but I didn't want to waste my time or money on the original series only to find out that this is not the method that would be appropriate for me or my children. The book has proved to do exactly what I had hoped. If your situation is similar to mine then you will know beyond a doubt whether the CM method is for you, or not, after reading this book. Catherine Levison does a wonderful job of condensing Charlotte's method and philosophy into a satisfying, affordable and quick-read guide. The author adequately conveys CM's method in way that is VERY easy to understand- making it an excellent starter book. I also purchased Karen Andreola's book, "Charlotte Mason Companion", and have only just started to read it, but so far it seems to be just as lovely, certainly much more in depth, but not as easy of a read I must say. Since Catherine's book, "A Charlotte Mason Education" has convinced me to use the CM method, I will also be purchasing "More Charlotte Mason Education" as well as the original CM 6 volume set. This book provided me with enough to get started and to zealously "stir up the gift" inside my children AND me! I didn't want to put this one down- so I didn't. I read it in a night! Well worth the time. ;o) Review: Cliffs notes to get started in the method RIGHT NOW. - I devoured it the night it arrived. What I loved about this book is that it condensed the daunting six volumes of Charlotte Masons works into what I consider cliff notes. Here’s the bullet list of what you want to take away from the concepts. I now know that i want to invest in the six original works. But this book gave me enough insight to apply the techniques NOW, when I need it. I knew from reading other summary books by similar authors that I believed in the method. I’m now ready to delve into the intricacies while I’m working with our son THIS year. It was exactly what I hoped it would be, enough to get me started. I outlined concepts on nearly every other page. A quick and terrific read! One thing I also appreciate is that the author gave her own person opinions in a very gentle way. It made the book conversational and easy to read, much like discussing with a friend. I very much disagree with some of her perceptions, yet her sharing of those views on say... what she may want to censor in an art book, still added to the value of the writing. If only people could exhibit such grace on social media! I’ve just ordered her next book as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #436,471 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #370 in Curricula (Books) #1,185 in Homeschooling (Books) #3,067 in Instruction Methods | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (172) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.26 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1891400169 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1891400162 | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 104 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2000 | | Publisher | Sourcebooks | ## Images ![A Charlotte Mason Education: A Home Schooling How-To Manual - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v2CG3OvVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New to Charlotte Mason *by B***L on July 14, 2008* I was somewhat familiar with CM's method, but had never read about it in depth so I purchased this book to get a quick overview of Charlotte Mason's teaching philosophy.
