The Deep Well Of Time
Michael Dorer on storytelling in the Montessori classroom, with more than forty complete stories matched to the curriculum. 356 pages, soft cover, 2018 edition. Storytelling is the one part of the method that cannot be bought: the great lessons are told, not demonstrated, and an adult who is not a natural teller needs the stories written out before they can find their own way of giving them. Paper and cardstock, for teachers.
How to present it
Create a quiet reading corner with comfortable seating. Have a small lamp or flashlight available to enhance the nebula imagery experience. Place the book at child height for independent access.
- 1Begin by inviting the child to explore the cover's nebula imagery, asking what they notice in the colors and shapes
- 2Open to the first spread and read slowly, pausing to trace the silhouettes with your finger
- 3After each page, invite the child to share what they see in the nebula formations
- 4When reaching timeline elements, use hand gestures to show the passage of time
3 tips for parents
- Look for opportunities to reference the book's concepts when observing stars or clouds together
- Avoid over-explaining - let the imagery and simple text work their magic
- Consider reading one spread per sitting to allow deep engagement with each cosmic concept
