Do you love to read? Me too! That is one of the reasons I love the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education—we read so many amazing books. I have learned so much about history, science, music, art, and math by reading books with my children.

It can be overwhelming, though, to determine which books to read. There are so many great books and there is so little time in which to read them! And not all books are created equal. Some are engaging for all ages, while others are just twaddle.

How do you find books to read that are engaging and enhance your child’s educational studies? I’ve made the process a little easier for you by compiling book suggestions by subject and student age. (History suggestions are even broken out by time period.) These are books we love and have read. I am sure you will find some new books that your family will come to treasure, too.
