Great help in understanding the concept of Montessori methods

[Erik Akre · Rating 2 out of 5]

The major contribution of this book to my own thinking is its exposition is its explanations and explorations of child development in the early elementary years. As a Montessori teacher I find her ideas ever-useful in approaching the challenges of teaching that age.

One is left with the wish that either she were a better writer, or her translators were able to deliver her flavor better. I'm not sure which is the case, but this book in particular tasted a little dry in the reading. Her prose is florid, but also overdone. There is eloquence, and I do like the style, but the ideas come across in a rather unnecessarily complicated way. It's harder work to read, but the rewards are valuable for the interested.
