Review
"[Catherine's books] do an excellent job of conveying Charlotte Mason's ideas in a user-friendly format...offers broad advice about scheduling, selecting materials, teaching methods, and philosophy of education. It also includes using methedology with high schoolers, creating a "century book," and lengthy, recommended book lists. Quote frequently for Mason's work, Levison explains and clarifies Mason's ideas while also adding her own ideas resulting from her years of experience teaching this way in a home school setting. I found [her] books extremely practical and thoughtful." -- Cathy Duffy author of theChristian Home Educators' Curriculum Manuals

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource., December 29, 1999

By A Customer

Usually I think of sequels as being less than the original.. but this is an exception to the rule! As much as I enjoyed Levison's first book, A Charlotte Mason Education, I found this new work even more helpful! Since my children are getting older, I really appreciated the chapter on CM and high school age children. Contrary to popular belief, this method CAN be done with older students! Other chapters of interest include: Short Lessons, Book of the Centuries, Curriculum Planning, Coping Stategies, Book Selection, Classroom Applications, Poetry, Math, Support Groups, Frugal Home Schooling, Avoiding Twaddle, and too many other things to mention. This book is definitely worth adding to your collection of educational books.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Charlotte Mason Education, January 5, 2000

By A Customer

I was very pleased with this purchase. I devoured it within a few days, and every bit of the information was fresh and vital to me as a homeschooling mother approaching the highschool years. We have done much research on the CM method, but this book gives very practical and applicable advice about how to implement the principles. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine's Personality Shows Through, February 4, 2000

By	P. Gardner "Penny Gardner" (American Fork, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I heard Catherine speak at an all-day CM conference in Utah last year. She is a hilarious speaker; I was almost rolling on the floor during her presentation on habits. Catherine allows her personality and humor to come through in her writing of More Charlotte Mason Education. This book is more in-depth, more helpful, and more entertaining to read than her first book (which is still a good introduction to CM).
