I wrote this book to say everything
young children had taught me. It is full of stories about children
who taught me how to be a good teacher for them. The chapters are
short, the theory is sound, and people like the book. It has stayed
popular for 21 years now.
Pay
Attention to the Children:
Lessons for Teachers and Parents from Sylvia Ashton-Warner
$14.95
This book, about Sylvia Ashton-Warner's
ideas and how they informed mine, continues to go back to teaching
experience and how we can learn from it. The chapters are somewhat
longer, the theory more developed. I wrote it because I had to ...
I couldn't explain myself and why I teach the way I do without explaining
Sylvia. It has two chapters on discipline and two on stories ...
where they come from and their use in teaching. The work I did around
Sylvia's ideas, and those of Vivian Gussin Paley, briefly discussed
in this book, led me directly to the Reggio Emilia work I now do.
I wrote this to be notes to a seminar
I gave in 1986. It' doesn't have the coherence of a book,
but rather it is a collection of useful short articles . .
. about how to help a child when his/her parents divorce
or when someone dies; about holidays; about what how to say
things that convey concern and respect to children, about celebrating
with children.
In
1971 Gianni Rodari gave a series of lectures in Reggio Emilia, which
were made into a book, The Grammar of Fantasy. This book
was very popular from the outset, translated into several European
languages, and in 1996 Jack Zipes, the American expert on fairy
tales, translated it into English. This book enables such a wonderful
piece of curriculum -- preliterate as well as older children making
up fantasy stories which delight -- that we all need to have easy
access to it.
I often have
copies of Ashton-Warner's books for sale, usually for $15-35. You
can write to me at sydney@eceteacher.org to find out if I have a
book you want ... and at what price.
