A useful study resource on theorists and their influence, 25 Oct 2008
A clear and well set out book detailing approximately 20 theorists who have had influences in the way we approach early years education.
I would normally dip in and out of text books but this one I was happy to read as it's set out in such a undemanding and informative way.
The book is set out with headings about each theorist's;
- Life and upbringing
- Books and writing
- Their theory
- How those theories have been put into practise and their influence
The author also critiques the theories and provides web sites and books to find out more about each one.
Whilst it's definitely a useful book and one I've found interesting, I had hoped to find some information on Maslow, Rogers or Kelly so was slightly disappointed they weren't mentioned.
Essential at any level, 11 Feb 2008
Great book, great for all levels - good mix of theorists, excellent links to more information. Good links to those who oppose the theorists cited and why - would recommend as a good basic book for any level of learning
essential for child related degree, 16 Nov 2007
I'm doing an early years degree and this book provides lots of basic, vital info about theorists. Well worth the money & easy to read with lots of visual info too.

I recommend this book to all people new to home schooling. It is enlightening and very freeing. When I first read it, despite all the case studies, I was sceptical as to whether unschooling could work. But as my daughters have grown I am continually amazed by their inate ability to teach themselves and to soak up information from me and from elsewhere when they are ready for and interested in it, even if it is far above their "grade level". I keep coming back to this book to remind me that it is OK to let them grow intellectually and discover the world by themselves, in their own way, at their own pace and when they are ready. It makes for very happy families and I'm now convinced that unschooling makes the most sense as an educational philosophy, to me at least! Life will never be dull again, 22 Jun 2005
I ordered half a dozen books on home education when I first got curious about it, and this is the first one I read. At first I thought it was a bit out there, it relies on having a lot of trust in your child's natural desire to learn, and I wasn't sure I was up to it. I remembered being forced to do homework, the fear and loathing of assignments, the drudgery -- how could I expect my child to WANT to do it all for the joy of it? I read the other books, then came back to this one and realized that it was the one strategy book that made the most sense. Based on this book, supporting documentation in other books, and the personal results of hundreds of home ed families (in online groups), child-led "unschooling" is the most effective for the kids and the easiest method on the parents. We're now dedicated to it, and it's wonderful. And the best part is that we almost never hear "I'm bored" because he knows how to fill his time with interesting things for himself. Read the others, John Holt in particular, but come back to this. You'll never regret it.

Ths was my first read on the how to of Montessori. I consequently helped my ADHD dyslexic child to read using these guidelines. An easy read and practical exercises to do at home.

I bought this book initially because I want to become a teacher, but I was not sure which kind of education method I wanted to take on. I was immediately so inspired about a method that makes a difference to so many lives and communities all over the world.
I am going to be a Steiner Teacher! I am so enthusiastic that I give it to friends mothers-to-be and friends that already have children. I appreciate the focus on imagination, creativity and art, which are vital for the emotional growth of the children, who are lead by example by the teachers with the support of the parents. This is a learning method for the children, the teachers, the parents and the communities involved in the process of alternative education. It also gives a taste of the Steiner Education work around the world. My boyfriend suggests this book to his patients (he's an Acupuncturist, Osteopath, Lecturer) and to parents at his seminars. It gives you an idea of how extraordinary this method is and what kind of impact will have on our children and communities. These are the people that will transform the world and from the book you can get their commitment and we can be part of this transformation! Fantastic, well written and, like the method itself, it flows, so it is good even for busy mums and dads!

Just What I Was Looking For, 30 Jan 2007
Just the book I've been looking for. It explains clearly how to use the Montessori materials, so even someone who has never had any training in the Montessori Method can learn to use them.
No Montessori home should be without it!, 25 Sep 2001
This book has been the clearest and most concise version of the Montessori method i have found yet. The introduction is excellent and seems to cover all the history of Maria Montessori and her philosophy without confusing issues or making it over complex. It gave me a real feeling of being able to implement her ideas in my home without having to hugely change the way my daughters lived. I found the descriptions of the materials and how to present them excellent; simple, as the presentations should be, ordered, so i knew what I should tackle next and with lots of varieties, so i could make good use of the materials i made or bought. I found a lot of confidence from this book - partly in my parenting techniques and partly in my ability to take to the diy stores and make my own materials using his descriptions! If you are going to have one Montessori book - have this one!

my views, 18 Aug 2002
i recommend anyone who is interested in the life of Maria Montessori. You get to understand how she thought and how her mothods were put into practise. Standing writes this books as if it is a love letter to her. It comes across very much that he thought very highly of her, and too right.
The book is full of information and has an index at the back, unlike Montessori books that she wrote.

my views, 18 Aug 2002
i recommend anyone who is interested in the life of Maria Montessori. You get to understand how she thought and how her mothods were put into practise. Standing writes this books as if it is a love letter to her. It comes across very much that he thought very highly of her, and too right.
The book is full of information and has an index at the back, unlike Montessori books that she wrote.
This is Montessori teaching at its best., 29 Dec 2000
Lyn Lawrence has captured the essence of Language development in children as discovered by Maria Montessori. It is an excellent reference source for teachers as well as parents. The step by step sequence of phonic and sandletters is easy to use .The exercises in the book require little use of expensive learning aids. We use this book frequently in our school in Buckinghamshire. Our set of pupils who have now left to go on to Junior schools, all left with an above average reading age. Lyn follows the essence of Montessori simply,but the spirituality shines through. A good, easily resourced educational book. Thank you Lyn. From Amita Morton Morton Montessori@waitrose.com
A storehouse of practical ideas., 14 Jul 1999
There is a great need for the Montessori approach to literacy to be more widely known and implemented. Now, at last, we have an effective tool for this in Montessori Read and Write, A Parent's Guide to Early Literacy for Children. This how-to-do-it, step-by-step guide to the Montessori way of promoting early literacy is what we have all been waiting for. As a resource book Montessori Read and Write will prove indispensible, not only to parents, but to anyone running a Montessori classroom, because the activities suggested are easy to understand and set up, and do not require any extensive, or expensive investment in specialised equipment. For students, too, this book should be essential reading because of the masterful way in which language development for children is interwoven with a presentation of the Montessori approach and useful references at the end. With such a storehouse of practical ideas at her disposal, many of which have been included in the book, Mrs Lawrence is to be commended for having the wisdom to focus at length on the underlying factors that predispose pre-school children to develop, not just the ability to read and write, but the desire, the urge to become readers and writers, and to have highlighted the key role that parents must play in assisting this process from birth.

A useful study resource on theorists and their influence, 25 Oct 2008
A clear and well set out book detailing approximately 20 theorists who have had influences in the way we approach early years education.
I would normally dip in and out of text books but this one I was happy to read as it's set out in such a undemanding and informative way.
The book is set out with headings about each theorist's;
- Life and upbringing
- Books and writing
- Their theory
- How those theories have been put into practise and their influence
The author also critiques the theories and provides web sites and books to find out more about each one.
Whilst it's definitely a useful book and one I've found interesting, I had hoped to find some information on Maslow, Rogers or Kelly so was slightly disappointed they weren't mentioned.
Essential at any level, 11 Feb 2008
Great book, great for all levels - good mix of theorists, excellent links to more information. Good links to those who oppose the theorists cited and why - would recommend as a good basic book for any level of learning essential for child related degree, 16 Nov 2007
I'm doing an early years degree and this book provides lots of basic, vital info about theorists. Well worth the money & easy to read with lots of visual info too. Excellent Book, 26 Oct 2007
Really helped give me a basic outline of each theorists life and studies. Has been my bible for my foundation degree in early years excellent for nvq3 childcare, 21 Oct 2007
very easy to read and understand making it ideal for nvq3 childcare a must! great!! An excellent resource, 23 Jul 2007
I recommend this book to all people new to home schooling. It is enlightening and very freeing. When I first read it, despite all the case studies, I was sceptical as to whether unschooling could work. But as my daughters have grown I am continually amazed by their inate ability to teach themselves and to soak up information from me and from elsewhere when they are ready for and interested in it, even if it is far above their "grade level". I keep coming back to this book to remind me that it is OK to let them grow intellectually and discover the world by themselves, in their own way, at their own pace and when they are ready. It makes for very happy families and I'm now convinced that unschooling makes the most sense as an educational philosophy, to me at least! Life will never be dull again, 22 Jun 2005
I ordered half a dozen books on home education when I first got curious about it, and this is the first one I read. At first I thought it was a bit out there, it relies on having a lot of trust in your child's natural desire to learn, and I wasn't sure I was up to it. I remembered being forced to do homework, the fear and loathing of assignments, the drudgery -- how could I expect my child to WANT to do it all for the joy of it? I read the other books, then came back to this one and realized that it was the one strategy book that made the most sense. Based on this book, supporting documentation in other books, and the personal results of hundreds of home ed families (in online groups), child-led "unschooling" is the most effective for the kids and the easiest method on the parents. We're now dedicated to it, and it's wonderful. And the best part is that we almost never hear "I'm bored" because he knows how to fill his time with interesting things for himself. Read the others, John Holt in particular, but come back to this. You'll never regret it.

I bought this book initially because I want to become a teacher, but I was not sure which kind of education method I wanted to take on. I was immediately so inspired about a method that makes a difference to so many lives and communities all over the world.
I am going to be a Steiner Teacher! I am so enthusiastic that I give it to friends mothers-to-be and friends that already have children. I appreciate the focus on imagination, creativity and art, which are vital for the emotional growth of the children, who are lead by example by the teachers with the support of the parents. This is a learning method for the children, the teachers, the parents and the communities involved in the process of alternative education. It also gives a taste of the Steiner Education work around the world. My boyfriend suggests this book to his patients (he's an Acupuncturist, Osteopath, Lecturer) and to parents at his seminars. It gives you an idea of how extraordinary this method is and what kind of impact will have on our children and communities. These are the people that will transform the world and from the book you can get their commitment and we can be part of this transformation! Fantastic, well written and, like the method itself, it flows, so it is good even for busy mums and dads!
Just What I Was Looking For, 30 Jan 2007
Just the book I've been looking for. It explains clearly how to use the Montessori materials, so even someone who has never had any training in the Montessori Method can learn to use them.
No Montessori home should be without it!, 25 Sep 2001
This book has been the clearest and most concise version of the Montessori method i have found yet. The introduction is excellent and seems to cover all the history of Maria Montessori and her philosophy without confusing issues or making it over complex. It gave me a real feeling of being able to implement her ideas in my home without having to hugely change the way my daughters lived. I found the descriptions of the materials and how to present them excellent; simple, as the presentations should be, ordered, so i knew what I should tackle next and with lots of varieties, so i could make good use of the materials i made or bought. I found a lot of confidence from this book - partly in my parenting techniques and partly in my ability to take to the diy stores and make my own materials using his descriptions! If you are going to have one Montessori book - have this one!

History at it's best, 19 Jul 2008
I am home schooling and bought this book 6 months ago to teach history to my 6 year old. I have not been disappointed. He has really enjoyed learning about the Egyptians and how much a part the River Nile played in their initial survival. I would recommend buying the activity book that is used alongside this as we have enjoyed making scrolls, writing hieroglyphs, making pyramid models and a makeshift river nile in the garden. I don't think I would have come up with these ideas on my own! The two definitely go hand in hand. The activity book is "The Story of the World: Ancient Times Bk. 1 [Paperback] by Wise, Bauer S". It took me a while to decide from the amazon search results which one it was as it's not labelled as an activity book.
An excellent starting point for history, 02 Sep 2006
This book is brilliantly written in a direct and child friendly way. It is written in the 'voice' of a story teller, asking the children for their points of view throughout. It assumes you are reading to your child/grandchild and interacting. This book is aimed at children between the ages of five and nine and so don't be put off by the advanced nature of the subject (including Sumerians and other cultures not well served by children's books usually). Although, having studied history of art at university, after only covering sciences at school, I would have loved this book to give me the background in history which I pretended to have.
There is an accompanying activity book which has maps, puzzles, plenty of colouring, some fantastic activities (such as mummyfying a chicken), and some excellent book refernces to take the child's interest further. It is worth buying if you are home educating or have a long summer holiday.
This book would be wonderful as a stand alone book for children who are missing out on the pleasure of history at school. Unlike the 'Horrible Histories' which people give their children to try and make history fun, try this book which gives children a geniuine pleasure in 'real' history.
All the bits that primary schools miss., 23 Feb 2006
I am home educating my children and first learned of this book through 'Well Trained Mind". It is designed for use with children aged about 6 (American first grade). The book is a chronological, narrative account of History from the first nomads through to the last Roman emporer. There are a few black and white line illustrations - so not exactly Dorling Kindersley and there are lots of questions contained in the narrative so that it sounds a bit like a Witness study text but apart from that is very engaging and makes sense of the rather fragmentary history studied in UK primary schools. The book is supposed to be used as the basis for a history curriculum supported by other texts (Kingfisher, Usborne), blackline maps and an activity book. Many of my peers have complained to me that they have an incomplete picture of the chronology of history. With this book you can learn (along with your child) how all the pieces fit together.

Self-directed learning, 27 Oct 2008
This approachable and accessible book covers most aspects of informal and self-directed learning at home.
The authors interviewed 26, mostly British, home-schooling families, and their outcomes go some way towards rebutting conventional arguments that education cannot exist beyond the structure of schools, curricula, and testing.
Sections on the acquisition of literacy and numeracy are particularly well researched. The children concerned learn almost by accident through their everyday experiences, when they feel like it and are ready for it. Some of them receive input from their parents, while others learn with complete autonomy.
The families and the authors describe how the majority of the children observed are actively engaged in their own learning and, therefore, establish their own learning agendas guided by what suits them best. The removal of competition, restrictive curricula and the time-wasting built into the school day create the space for children to develop their self-motivation and thereby enable them to learn more efficiently.
As a retired teacher with thirty years experience, I find that this book provides me with evidence of the value of home schooling and throws out a powerful challenge to the skeptics.
Excellent- well researched & highly informative, 16 Oct 2008
This is a very interesting book about the theory of how children learn in the home environment by comparison to school. Based predominantly on academic research it is a very through and well referenced piece of work which makes the content that much more useful. If you're fed up with books that peddle 'dribble theories' which have no scientific backing, then this book is for you. It's very well grounded in solid academic research.
In terms of content, it can be a bit repetative if you're reading it as leisure reading, but as it seeks to be an authoratative piece of work i don't think it is excessively over done.
The style if very accessable, and its easy for a reader to relate it to their own experiences both as a child and as a carer/parent, demonstrating how people (adults and children) learn outside the formal classroom.
I would recommend this book to anyone who's contemplating homeschooling, and to anyone who's involved in the business of education (whether of children or adults) as it gives a new perspective on teaching.
