    I am looking at the various books (like Planning your CM Education) and wondering which ones are essential, and which ones (if any) should be bought alongside their DVD.  Thank you!!  I am new to homeschooling, and my kids are 6, 4, and 2–again–thanks!!

    I highly recommend Planning Your Charlotte Mason Education.  I think (for me) it’s helpful to have both the book and the DVD for this particular resource.

    Also, I think the All Day Seminars are probably very helpful if you aren’t familiar with CM and how to teach the varying subjects.  I don’t have this one, but I attended her seminar a couple years ago and Sonya does a great job of breaking down the subjects.

    Those would be my priorities. HTH!

    p.s. My kids are 8, 6 and 4 and when I first saw your ages, I thought our kids were the same age.  How in the world, in the midst of long days, did the years trickle through my fingertips??  *sigh*

    I agree with Tia, I *love* Planning Your CM Education. If I had to choose between the book and the dvd for that resource, I think I would choose the book… but that is more a reflection of my personal learning style than anything else. I enjoyed the video but had to have the book in my hand to really pull things together. 

    Also agreeing with Tia on the All Day Seminar on dvd… I learned so much from that even though I had read a ton of material on CM methodology before I watched it. Books and Things is really good too but I think I would get the other first. They are both excellent.

    Laying Down the Rails… haven’t read this one yet but it’s on my list. 🙂 

    Also many of the free materials in the bookstore are very helpful.

    Happy shopping! 🙂

    Yes! Jenn is right about the free resources. Her free ebooks are always worth the time.
