The Montessori Elementary Material

Montessori's experiments contain the affirmation of a new doctrine and the illustration of a new method in regard to the teaching of grammar, reading and metrics. This book, we hope, a faithful rendition of her work.

Maria Montessori, Italian physician and educationist, born in Rome, the first women in Italy to receive a medical degree (1894), dedicated to her life to learning how best to educate children-particularly the poorest, most challenged children-during their vulnerable beginnings.
