About this book

Learning through touch, sound and movement gives Maria Montessori's 1914 handbook its practical focus. Addressed to families with growing children, it links the development of intelligence and character to the surroundings in which children learn. Its chapters range from sensory and motor education to writing, arithmetic and music, with illustrations of materials such as buttoning frames, geometric shapes, sandpaper letters and counting boxes.

A detailed exercise with musical bells shows how the method works. A child strikes a note, searches among mixed bells for its match, and later arranges the scale by ear. Montessori also discusses instruments with different tones and timbres. Parents, teachers and readers interested in the history of education can use these concrete examples to examine how carefully chosen objects connect physical activity with observation, memory and learning.
