Dr. Montessori’s Own Handbook

Description

Well-known Italian educator, philosopher and humanitarian, Dr. Maria Montessori has written this comprehensive and extremely helpful guide as a response to the numerous requests of parents and teachers. The book serves as an easy to understand illustrated guide to using the educational techniques, approaches and classroom materials developed by the doctor, in order to create the perfect learning environment for children.

As the book also emphasizes, Montessori’s approach is associated with first and foremost creating an environment in which children feel supported and respected, while also being given freedom to explore and learn at their own pace, rather than being controlled and scolded for their mistakes.

Also, both logical and esthetically pleasing, the materials used for improving anything from cognition and organized thinking to the ability to recognize specific objects and observe movements, colors or reactions are presented in great detail by the book. Montessori explains how items such as sound cylinders, geometrical inserts or colored rods can be used in particular ways to help provide children with better tactile, visual and auditory stimuli that act as an easier, more pleasant method of teaching various skills and abilities.

The book is considered an invaluable tool for any parent or teacher interested in applying Dr. Montessori’s methods in providing young preschool and school children with a better, more interesting and more effective means for learning, while also conferring a unique and adventuresome experience that the child will resonate with.

Today, the Montessori method is used by numerous public and private schools throughout the world.
