Home Education (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950536672)

This annotated edition of Charlotte Mason's Home Education features original page numbers as sidenotes, making it easy to follow along with study groups, curriculum guides, and online discussions that refer to earlier editions' numbering. At a reader-friendly 5.5×8.5 size with generous 12.5pt font, this book is designed to be read, referenced, and returned to as you guide your children through their early learning years.

Charlotte Mason's first volume introduces her revolutionary philosophy that children are born persons deserving of respect, rich ideas, and living books rather than dry textbooks. She covers the formation of habits, the importance of outdoor time and nature study, early reading instruction, and how to cultivate attention and obedience without breaking a child's spirit. Whether you're teaching toddlers or elementary-aged students, Mason's principles provide a framework for nurturing both character and intellect.

The bonus content-Eugène Bersier's sermons that Mason herself translated and included in early editions-illuminates the spiritual and moral foundations she considered "imperative" for parents undertaking the profound responsibility of education.
