"Montessori Read and Write" is written by the director of the oldest and many people think the most thorough Montessori teacher training center in the world, MMI (The Maria Montessori Institute) in London, England. It is extremely valuable to Montessori teachers, other teachers, and parents. And now it is available NEW in this country from the Michael Olaf Montessori Company in Arcata, California.
A wonderfull book, full of practical idea's to help children to develop a love for language, books and reading. Great for parents and teachers.
This book really helped me to support my kids and their teachers as they moved through their primary years at Fayette Montessori. Although I did not have to work with them at home, understanding the methods they used in the class made me a hugh Montessori advocate.
This is a easy to use book to use with lots of games to play. In keeping with the Montessori way, kids will not know they are learning. As a parent, the games and instructions are easy to follow. The book encourages you to follow the games in sequence, as they build on eachother. I liked that short explanations were given for each game reagrding what it would teach the children. One thing, it does assume having some of the Montessori tools/toys such as sandpaper letters which you can buy or make yourself. But many of the gamse require only you and your kid. Good book, I am moving toward a Montessori house and hope my kids will benefit from it.
Montessori Read and Write is a terrific book and is stuffed with many, many great ideas and suggestions for teaching your young child to read and instilling a love of reading. The content of this book can actually be a bit overwhelming. I suggest a very slow reading of this book, interspersed with trying the ideas slowly with your children. As with all children, some of these ideas will work better individually than others, but I think most children will benefit very much from this book. Happy reading to you and your children.
