How Children Learn (Classics in Child Development)

by John Holt

How Children Learn (Classics in Child Development) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This enduring classic of educational thought offers teachers and parents deep, original insight into the nature of early learning. John Holt was the first to make clear that, for small children, “learning is as natural as breathing.” In this delightful yet profound book, he looks at how we learn to talk, to read, to count, and to reason, and how we can nurture and encourage these natural abilities in our children.”

Synopsis:

A classic for parents and teachers, with over 750,000 copies sold.

Synopsis:

"Children do not need to be made to learn", Holt maintains, because each is born with what Einstein called "the holy curiosity of inquiry". For them, learning is as natural as breathing. First published in 1967, How Children Learn has become a classic for parents and teachers, providing an "effective, gentle voice of reason" (Life).
