Use Montessori Exercises to Supplement Public School, 7 April 1998

As she did in her previous book, Hainstock displays the materials needed for the exercises and shows how to make them with items that are easily obtained. She again goes through the exercises in great detail, showing each level step by step.

This book could be useful for someone teaching a school-aged child at home, but it lacks many items which are present in an elementary Montessori classroom, such as geography materials, botany and zoology materials, and art and music materials. For this reason it is best used as the author intended, as a supplement to a child's traditional educational experience.
