Product Description
From back cover:
Profusely Illustrated
This book is addressed to teachers, parents, educational therapists--to all those who can use a short guide to one of the most powerful sets of ideas and practices on the education of children. The educational world is only now catching up with the lessons the Handbook has to teach.
The Handbook contains a detailed and clear description of Dr. Montessori's didactic materials and their use. These learning tools are the original "teaching machines" for young children. Designed to develop and refine the child's visual, auditory and tactile perceptions, they contain within their structure controls of possible error. The child educates himself. Intelligence is stimulated as increasing powers of observation, recognition, judgment and classification are developed. In her introduction Nancy McCormick Rambusch, founder of the 1st modern Montessori school in the US, stresses Dr. Montessori's own emphasis upon observation as the background against which the materials must be seen.
The child whose early education has been enriched by Montessori procedures is better prepared for later schooling. In the author's own words, the montessori education is a "preparation for the first stages of essential culture--writing, reading, and numbers--and that knowledge comes as an easy, spontaneous and logical consequence of the preparation, that it is in fact its natural conclusion."
