You ought to read, “The Mass Explained to Children” by Maria Montessori. It’s a shame that her teaching methods have been divorced from her Catholicism, this is the real source of her method’s success. I use it with my five year old daughter with Down Syndrome, it’s the perfect method for a self-directed, kinesthetic little learner! There are good Catholic Montessori websites in my sidebar.

I didn’t even know she was a Catholic.

I just read your post. Was wondering how Montessori helped your down syndrome child?
