Basic Skills: An Introduction to Colors, Numbers, and Shapes (Montessori Method)
Give preschoolers the gift of learning with this Montessori-inspired early-childhood activity book!
In the Montessori Method, knowledge develops through the senses, and learning is nourished by freedom of choice, practical experience, and direct experimentation. This method of educating children has been widely implemented around the world, in preschools and beyond.
This engaging book–with 24 pages of stickers–focuses on three main early-learning concepts: colors, numbers, and shapes. Each activity, be it choosing the correct color to fill in a picture, finding the hidden triangle, or helping a squirrel count his acorns, stimulates learning through play and enhances the child’s cognitive development. The activities become progressively more complex according to the three stages of a child’s learning: getting to know the material through sensory experience, recognizing the material, and being able to explain the material. For example, an activity will ask a child to identify the color yellow, then to pick which object to color yellow, and explain why. The stickers tie in to the activities, making the experience more tactile for the child.

This book is full of the kind of information you need to run a small business successfully – whether you are just starting out, or you have an established business and you want to develop it and ensure its survival. Through a series of ‘Killer Questions,’ the authors highlight all the important things you need to think about to make your business a success and ensure you are heading in the right direction. The book is divided into three sections: the first deals with the business owner themselves, the second addresses other people involved in the business, whether they are customers, suppliers, staff or consultants, and the third looks at the structure of and planning in the business. The informal approach and short chapters mean that the book can either be read straight through or be dipped in and out of for easy reference. The authors have a combination of fifty years’ business experience between them and are both currently involved in business training and coaching.
