Charlotte Mason in a Nutshell
Charlotte Mason advocated for an education approach that focused on exposing children to "living books" or whole, quality works of literature rather than excerpts or anthologies. Students would narrate what they read to help them retain information. Lessons were short but frequent to allow for in-depth study of many subjects. Nature was also an important part of the curriculum through weekly nature walks and time spent outdoors daily. Art, journaling, copywork, dictation and creating a "Book of the Centuries" were also incorporated into Mason's philosophy of education. Afternoons were left open for free time activities.
