Book Summary of Basic Montessori - Learning Activities For Under-Fives
For the first time, "Basic Montessori "opens the celebrated philosophy and method to a more general public. David Gettman has devised a clear and modern explanation of Montessori's revolutionary ideas about early intellectual development, and provides a step-by-step guide to the Montessori learning activities most commonly used with under-fives. These include activities for introducing reading and writing, counting and decimal concepts, science, and geography, as well as activities that help develop the child's practical and sensorial skills.

Essential if you're doing Montessori lessons in the home. He gives a great overview of each period of learning, as well as explanations of basic materials and how to present them. I'll be using this one almost daily.
