    Synopsis

    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 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.

    February 15, 2006: It reads a little dry, but it gives you lots of information about the stages of development and the areas of interest for children under 5. The activities are listed and some are described in great detail (how to give the child the lesson, step by step).
