Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook
Maria Montessori published this handbook in 1914 as the only authorized short guide to her method, written so that parents and teachers could understand and apply it. She describes the Children's House, the school she created for small children in Rome, and then explains the principles of the method: motor education through the practical tasks of daily life, sensory education with her graded didactic materials, the teaching of language and knowledge of the world, and the freedom that allows each child to work at his or her own pace. Detailed sections show how children are led to write, read and count, and how they learn to read music. It remains a clear introduction in the founder's own words. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
