reviewed Early Childhood Inclusion: Focus on Change on November 09, 2008 Early Childhood Inclusion: Focus on Change
My friend who introduced me to Montessori for teaching my son preschool at home actually told me NOT to read Dr. Montessori's books because I wouldn't understand them because of her theories and technical language that she uses.
However, I strongly believed that if this was something I wanted to learn to better be able to use her principles in teaching my son preschool at home, then I should read what the originator of the method had to say about it.
I am very, VERY impressed with Dr. Montessori as I read of her work with the 'deficient' children and then how she applied what she did with the 'deficients' with 'normal' children. Also remember that she introduced this method for the instructing of 'normal' children a hundred years ago, so don't be turned off by what would today be considered politically incorrect terms.
Dr. Montessori's methods and theories make perfect sense to me as the only way young children (ages 2-6) should learn the basics (colors, shapes, letters, phonic reading, writing, mathmatics, etc) - and I question the continued methods enforced in public schooling and federally-funded preschool programs, especially when a far superior method is available and has years and years of proof that it works.
