Montessori Homeschooling in a child's hands
Susan Mayclin Stephenson on home schooling one family through from kindergarten to twelfth grade, a chapter for each year, ending with her son's acceptance at Brown University. 288 pages, soft cover, 2020 edition. What makes it usable rather than inspirational is the honesty about what failed, and the four guidelines it keeps returning to: keep the developmental stage in mind, prepare the environment and offer the work, observe whether it is working, then adapt and follow the child. Paper and cardstock.
