Books Worth Reading


I am a big fan of the Montessori methods of teaching so I want to share two books that I really love. (See above pictures). How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way, Tim Seldin. Basic Montessori, David Gettman. Amazing Child is a great book for light reading. It has multiple images on every page so you really get a great idea of what they are talking about. It is really geared towards parents (not providers so much) on how to use Montessori in the home. It has creative activities for the children and again is a super easy read to get you started in Montessori. Basic Montessori is dense and packed with information and in tiny font. So, I wouldn't recommend it for night time reading (it has put me to sleep many a time while reading in bed). It has SO much information in it, though, and really makes me feel confident in how I am using Montessori in the home. I'd say it covers the bases when it comes to studying Montessori.

Happy Reading :)
