Charlotte Mason Study Guide by Penny Gardner Review by Martha Robinson

In Charlotte Mason Study Guide Penny Gardner has effectively summarized the original series of books written by Charlotte Mason almost 100 years ago. For anyone who loves the concept of Charlotte Masons methods but who does not have the stamina to dig through these challenging books, Penny Gardners guide is a true blessing.

Mrs. Gardner has organized the Charlotte Mason Study Guide into the twenty topics listed below:

For each topic, Mrs. Gardner gives quotations drawn from all six of Charlotte Masons books and adds analysis from her own experience. Reviews of books that support the Charlotte Mason method and articles by other writers are interspersed among the topics. The book finishes with sample written narrations by children of various ages.

Recommendation: Written in the classic style of telling the audience what you will tell them, telling them, and telling them what you told them, this book makes a difficult subject understandable. Other books on the market are "how to" books or books written from the heart by homeschooling mothers using the Charlotte Mason method, but the Charlotte Mason Study Guide gives the reader the essence of Charlotte Masons ideas in her own words. If you have wondered what the Charlotte Mason method is or want to strengthen your knowledge of her ideas, Charlotte Mason Study Guide is an excellent choice.
