DVD in a child's hands
A DVD explaining the principles behind the Montessori approach to early education, narrated by Lynne Lawrence. It is made for the parent deciding whether to send a child to a Montessori school and finding that every explanation either assumes too much or says too little. Watching a prepared environment being used answers in twenty minutes what an hour of reading does not, because the objection people usually have is about what it looks like in practice. Plastic and paper, for adults.
