Step 1
Charlotte Mason taught children using a method that emphasized a child's love for books. The books were used in conjunction with short lessons and plenty of hands-on activities to help children gain a well-rounded education. The books are called "living books" because they foster a child's desire to apply what they read immediately. And, the books work to help a child develop their senses by introducing hands-on applications.

Step 2
The Charlotte Mason theory also includes having children participate in outdoor activities and get in touch with nature as much as possible. Her method of teaching encourages children to explore the world around them, and the "living books" that you can purchase today still adhere to this theory.
