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 simply 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 new books that your family will come to treasure, too.

      Like a rich stock, Crystal takes Charlotte Mason’s ideas and simmers them down into an easily digestible form where they are easy to understand and implement. To listen to Crystal speak is to dip from the pot of her hours of research and insight for a very pleasant and practical meal.

      Thank you for your insight. I am constantly trying to pull back on this but all things around us say to increase our activity level. It’s good to hear encouragement about leaving margin.

      I wasn’t sure what to expect – would it be too far beyond my reach? It wasn’t! Crystal does a good job of making an intentional math lifestyle possible for the average person through examples and her passion for the subject.
