A follow-up book to E. Hainstock's earlier work, Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Pre-school Years. She emphasizes reading and mathematics exercises in this book, and also states specifically that she intends these exercises to supplement children's learning experiences in a public school environment. As she did in her previous book, Hainstock displays the materials needed for the exercises and shows how to make them with items that are easily obtained. She goes through the exercises in great detail, showing each level step by step. This book lacks many items which are present in an elementary Montessori classroom, such as geography materials, botany and zoology materials, and art and music materials, so it is best used as the author intended, as a supplement to a child's traditional educational experience.
