Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Montessori Casa, or classroom for three through six year old students, children approximately three-and-a-half years of age learn to distinguish between and among a variety of textures by feeling swatches in two sets of Fabric Boxes. Following hands-on experiences of touching natural fabrics, students learn to identify fabric swatches by name such as silk, wool, and cotton. As an extension of their previous studies, children may also learn the names of patterns which appear on fabrics such as polka dots, stripes, and checks to expand their knowledge of repeating designs in the classroom and wider world. Written by AMI Primary Diploma holder Mary Da Prato with illustrations by Mary Da Prato and Genevieve DeVaney Da Prato, BFA, MAT, My First Montessori Book of Patterns provides a sampling of twenty-five patterns to promote awareness and discussion of repeating designs created by humans as well as those that exist in nature. Included is a "For Parents" section that provides activity ideas to introduce and strengthen textile and pattern awareness.

Stripes, polka dots, plaid, chevron, and more are featured in this first-ever patterns concept book that provides readers with the vocabulary to name what they see in the world around them. The ten most prevalent patterns are presented first as a single element (This is a circle ...), then as a pattern (... a lot of circles make polka dots!). Conceived by educators and illustrated in vivid candy-colored hues, this pitch-perfect introduction to patterns will engage the artistic, mathematical, and linguistic parts of every young child's mind.

Book excerpt: The idea behind the boardbook collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 3 years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text since touching and picture reading are the primary means of interpretation. A guiding character accompanies the child throughout each developing story until the end, where there is a summary of all the characters introduced in the book. Consistent with the Montessori approach, the child is encouraged to interact independently with his or her book. For example, in some cases, the child is asked to use a finger to trace the outline of a shape and notice its characteristics (round, sharp-edged, jagged, etc.). In others, he or she is asked to use a finger to follow a path in order to discover hidden characters and learn to associate them with their most distinctive features (the lion's tail, the rabbit's ears, the colours of vegetables, etc.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Color in the Primary Montessori Casa, or classroom for three to six year olds, is more about perception and discrimination of a sampling of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and their tints and shades rather than color theory and the color wheel. Children are introduced to three sets of Color Tablet Boxes containing an assortment of colors to recognize, sort, match in pairs, and grade from dark to light, which develop the chromatic and aesthetic senses in preparation for exercises in creative art or “Expression.”Written and illustrated by AMI Diploma holder Mary Da Prato, My First Montessori Book of Colors reinforces classwork and helps parents guide their child to the wonder of color and self-discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precisely measured equally segmented bars known as Number Rods give four year old children in the Montessori prepared environment the keys to the world of mathematics. By physically counting each segment within a given Number Rod, children receive a clear impression of quantity as an isolated entity. This action combined with guidance from the trained Montessori teacher provides a solid foundation of numbers one through ten in preparation for all future mathematical studies.Written and illustrated by AMI Diploma holder Mary Da Prato, My First Montessori Book of Quantities isolates Number Rods “One” through “Ten” and labels each with its corresponding numerical symbol to reinforce at home the earliest math activities children learn in the Casa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children’s minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci. Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome’s San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child’s mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.
