XI. Read and answer
Most educational specialists believe that early schooling should provide children with an awareness of their own abilities
and the self-confidence to use these abilities. One approach recognized by many experts as promoting these qualities is
the Montessori method, just practiced by Maria Montessori of Italy in the early 1900s. Nancy Mc Cormick Rambusch is
credited with popularizing the method in the United States, where today there are over 400 Montessori schools. The method
helps children learn for themselves by providing them with instructional materials and tasks that facilitate acts of discovery
and manipulation. Through such exploration, children develop their sense of touch and learn how to do everyday tasks
without adult assistance. Other benefits include improvement in language skills, and acquaintance with elements of science,
music and art.
