$55.00

Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) was the great observer of children. He watched, he listened, and then wrote about these occurrences. Froebel summed up his educational philosophy best when he wrote: "To stir up, to animate, to awaken, and to strengthen, the pleasure and power of the human being to labor uninterruptedly at his own education, has become and always remained the fundamental principle and aim of my educational work." Froebel's educational philosophy, although sometimes difficult to comprehend, is filled with timeless insight and useful information. In many ways he was ahead of his time. Froebel excelled in connecting concepts and what is known and understood by the child to what is not known and how they connect to each other and become unified in the child's thinking and comprehension. In this book, the author has given Froebel's important words a fresh approach in order to help parents and teachers guide children to learn to write and read based upon Froebel's original writings.
