Which books would you recommend? Anything related to early teaching, child development, child psychology…
There’s no library where i’m at the moment and i’m thinking of ordering a bunch of books…
thanks!
These are some excellent books I have read. They are old (1900ish), but they are written by a woman who used early education with her daughter. Her daughter could read, type, compose jingles (she wrote "Back in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue…) and speak in something like 7 languages. The first one is a manual showing what she did and the second is a more like a diary. They are availible full text for free online at google books.
