living books
Children should build their knowledge directly from living books, which Charlotte calls “living books”. What are Living Books? -The living books are written by an author passionate about the subject. -A living book is pleasant to read, it is not a chore: it must appeal to children. -The ideas that are there must cause small pleasant impacts on their minds, they must inspire them. (Laffon, Laura. Charlotte Mason pedagogy 1). ♥ Our list of living books ♥ Charlotte Mason
