The Montessori Elementary Material / The Advanced Montessori Method

A practical manual describes a step-by-step elementary program using specially designed materials and graded exercises to develop language, arithmetic, geometry, and drawing skills. It details phonetic and word-building work, suffixes and prefixes, parts of speech, sentence analysis, reading and metrical exercises, and concrete apparatus such as movable alphabets and grammar boxes, with many lesson plans, commands, test cards, and photographs. Chapters explain pedagogical aims, progressive permutations of elements, and classroom procedures while noting adaptations from original-language exercises for use with English-speaking pupils.
