 Great Addition to Her First Book! September 16, 2007
I have found all of Catherine's books to be a wonderful asset and addition to my CM library. Along with using her first book almost on a daily basis in my homeschooling day, I also use her second book just as much! It's a great extension to her first book. It has great information such as, Keeping a Century Book, High School, What are the Liberal Arts, How Short Lessons are Applied, Sample Schedules, Book and Supply List, For Further Study, etc. Also, if anyone has any questions on how to apply CM to their high schooler as well as an elementary age student, this is a great resource!
 Nice lists, horrible editing April 2, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was looking to this book as an expansion on Levinson's first "Charlotte Mason Education." While it does provide more "meat" than the first, I can't get past some of the glaring grammatical errors. Her misuse of the comma has plagued the first half of the book, to the point where I have to re-read sentences to figure out what the idea was supposed to be. At another point, she means to refer to a "vicious" cycle, yet she spells it "viscous." It is so hard to respect the information coming from one of the "Charlotte Mason experts" when she can't even proofread her work or find a good editor to do it for her. I'm not trying to be nasty, but I think it gives homeschoolers a bad name when books claiming that we "know how to teach our kids" are published and then contain so many glaring errors. I hope that future editions will correct the problems so that others don't lose respect for Levinson like I have. On the positive side, her book lists are excellent, and are an amazing resource for those looking for living books in each subject area. It is worth the purchase for that reason alone.
Worth Buying Twice! March 19, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had to buy this book twice. I liked it so much that I recommended it and loaned it to a friend who never returned it. I purchased it a second time because I missed it so much. Very enjoyable reading with a great book list. I refer to it often along with "A Charlotte Mason Companion" and "Educating the Wholehearted Child." So go ahead. Buy two of each! Your friends will enjoy it/them too!
Best overview of Charlotte Mason methods and ideas available March 16, 2004
I've been homeschooling for 10+ years and have been collecting books on Charlotte Mason's homeschooling methods for that long, as well. This little book is the best resource I've found for actually "doing" homeschooling in a Charlotte Mason style. It's not overly rigid or difficult to understand. Just pick a topic you want to do with your kids, open to that chapter, and you're off and running! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who's interested in a child-friendly, learning-rich homeschooling environment for their home and school. I've also known several people who have been rescued from homeschool burn-out by reading, and implementing, this book. A+
 Not that great. December 12, 2003

I did not appreciate this book. It is an uptight and rigid book, which contains misinformation. The author often presents her opinions as facts, and her theological ideas leave a lot to be desired. .
From now on, I will buy Dorothy and Raymond Moore's books.
