Description

This influential book outlines a new system for educating young children based on materials and methods developed by its author. Written in 1912, it describes techniques that proved highly effective with normal children as well as those originally designed to teach retarded students.

The Montessori Method covers a range of topics including scientific pedagogy, discipline, diet, gymnastics, manual labor, education of the senses, and methods for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic. This seminal work is widely accessible to teachers, principals, parents, and anyone interested in the education of young children.

With its focus on liberty for the pupil and highly formal training of separate sensory, motor, and mental capacities, this book has had a lasting impact on educational theory. The Dover edition makes it available at an affordable price, making it a valuable resource for those looking to learn from one of the most influential educators of the 20th century.
