Editorial Reviews: The essence of John Holt’s insight into learning and small children is captured in Learning All The Time. This delightful book by the influential author of How Children Fail and How Children Learn shows how children learn to read, write, and count in their everyday life at home and how adults can respect and encourage this wonderful process. For human beings, he reminds us, learning is as natural as breathing. John Holt’s wit, his gentle wisdom, and his infectious love of little children bring joy to parent and teacher alike.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: wonderful book Comment: Everyone should read this book, whether you have children yet or not! This is a great insight into how we as humans learn naturally and organically! A wonderful read. Customer Rating: Summary: Great book! Comment: This is a great book and I recommend EVERYONE should read it. Parents, grandparents, and even teens! Too often adults feel they are too old to learn. Children should be taught from an early age to love learning and that learning doesn't just happen 5 days a week from 8 - 3. This book is awesome and I wish my parents had read and followed it when I was a child. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for everyone interested in children Comment: A book for everyone interested in how children learn. It would be of special interest to unschoolers or natural learners. Very eye-opening regarding the way children perceive the world and how they constantly learn from it, even when we interfere with this learning process. Customer Rating: Summary: Passionate Comment: Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I'm no fan of public school and recently began homeschooling/ unschooling, and I've done a lot of reading on both sides of that coin. Still, something about how John Holt writes about children and how they learn and the little things that can make it or break it... captures my attention, makes me laugh, and continues to enlighten me. I wish there were more passionate people in the world like him. Customer Rating: Summary: Very insightful and practical Comment: This is as good as all his other books. Very practical as well. Several other sources are listed in the text, as well as many materials and a wise way of using them. More Reviews
