Personal Reflections on the Gentle Art of Learning
I love Charlotte Mason’s approach to education, raising children, and life in general. Karen Andreola has captured the essence of Charlotte’s work and presents it here in a highly readable and inviting style. Reading it I come away feeling refreshed as after a well sought out meeting with a dear friend. Karen and husband Dean are the couple who reprinted Charlotte Mason’s work, The Original Home Education Series. I would recommend any of the books on Charlotte Mason, but this one is definitely a favorite.
With Karen Andreola's assistance and Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy, you will discover how to:
- recognize a "living book,"
-
use narration
-
teach reading, spelling, composition, and vocabulary,
-
appreciate great art, classical music, poetry, plays, and novels,
-
keep a Nature Notebook (for science),
-
take part in hero-admiration (for history),
-
establish helpful habits,
-
create a loving home atmosphere,
-
welcome moments of "Mother Culture"
