Currently Reading- Montessori: A Modern Approach

Do you sense a theme here? I am really interested in the Montessori Method and teaching and have been reading everything I can about it lately. This book is an over view of Maria Montessori's method. It covers the history, philosphy, "method" , her view on parent involvement and how learning to read and write works in a well run montessori classroom. While the book is titled a "Modern approach" the book was actaully written in the 70s. I would like to see this one updated with current research included. But it has been an interesting read and I am almost finished with it.

Another Finish- Montessori- The Science behing the Genius

This was a very interesting read and I would recommend it to any one who is looking at Montessori schooling for their kids, or to teachers and adminstrator who would like even more reasons for parents to send their kids to a Montessori school. It spells out just what sets a Montessori ( a well run, authentic Montessori) school apart from traditional schools and the current research that backs up why most Montessori schools are so successful teaching all types of children. I highly recommend this book.

Spellbinder is finished

Not a spectacular book but it was a fun read and I will probably go and get the next book in the series once I have finished the books on my to read list. I do hope the author goes back her other series so though.
