A Twaddle-Free Education: An Introduction to Charlotte Mason's Timeless Educational Ideas by Deborah Taylor-Hough
5.0
Quick, informative read
This was a great summary of the Charlotte Mason method of educating children. There were so many things that I agree with! Read 'living books' to your kids. Narration or Retelling, rather than taking tests. (Painting, drawing, sculpting, play-acting, etc.) Short lessons. Weekly nature walks. Nature journals. Art appreciation through picture study. Journaling. Copy work and dictation. Lessons before noon, afternoons for free-time and handicrafts. Establish good habits.
