How Children Learn
by Holt, John Caldwell
Now in its 50th anniversary edition, How Children Learn is credited with pioneering the homeschooling movement starting in the 1970s. Over a million copies of the book have been sold. "In this enduring classic, rich with 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 his delightful book he observes how children actually learn to talk, to read, to count, and to reason, and how, as adults, we can best encourage these natural abilities in our children." - From the Publisher
