Product Description

Review

"Gettman's advice on how to create an effective learning environment should be helpful for parents as well as educators and day-care workers." Booklist "A good reference tool for everyone wanting to know more about or intending to try the Montessori method whether they are parents, teachers, or day-care personnel."- Library Journal


Product Description

For the first time, Basic Montessori opens the celebrated philosophy and method to a more general public. David Gettman has devised a clear and modern explanation of Montessori's revolutionary ideas about early intellectual development, and provides a step-by-step guide to the Montessori learning activities most commonly used with the under-fives. These include activities for introducing reading and writing, counting and decimal concepts, science, and geography, as well as activities that help develop the child's practical and sensorial skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Montessori home should be without it!, 25 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book has been the clearest and most concise version of the Montessori method i have found yet. The introduction is excellent and seems to cover all the history of Maria Montessori and her philosophy without confusing issues or making it over complex. It gave me a real feeling of being able to implement her ideas in my home without having to hugely change the way my daughters lived. I found the descriptions of the materials and how to present them excellent; simple, as the presentations should be, ordered, so i knew what I should tackle next and with lots of varieties, so i could make good use of the materials i made or bought. I found a lot of confidence from this book - partly in my parenting techniques and partly in my ability to take to the diy stores and make my own materials using his descriptions! If you are going to have one Montessori book - have this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For, 30 Jan 2007
By Maria Rose (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Montessori (Paperback)
Just the book I've been looking for. It explains clearly how to use the Montessori materials, so even someone who has never had any training in the Montessori Method can learn to use them.
