Montessori Education: Is It For You?

To me, the Montessori method is such a logical way to learn. Each piece of work
prepares the child for the next work he will be doing. And each work is self-correcting so
the child may discover his mistake while the teacher says nothing.

by J. Richard Gentry

Reading Ed
Center
Richard Gentry's "Literacy Map" is a concise guide for the teaching of
reading and writing in the primary classroom. He has included many excellent literacy
assessments followed by clear examples of what to do with the results of these
assessments. All his recommended teaching practices are easy to implement, require few
"extra" materials, and are not program-specific. The book is divided by grade
level, making it easy to locate what is appropriate for the reader's grade level. Gentry
makes a clear case for the reciprocity of reading and writing, as well as acknowledging
the importance of using assessment to guide instruction.
