Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Childhood Education

Powerful, Knowledge Building, Thought Provoking...these are a few words that may come to your mind as you read The Hundred Languages of Children. The book is a must read for all educators, especially those that work with primary age children. It will make you reflect on your own practices as an educator and rethink your philosophy of education. One Hundred Languages of Children is an overview of the approaches used in Reggio Emilia's schools in Italy. The focus of the book centers around the roles of the teacher, children, parents, and community in a learner centered environment. Each stakeholder plays an important role in the processes of the child's learning experience. The children are encouraged to explore their environment through movement, dancing, singing, music, drawing and other modules of expression. One Hundred Languages of Children provides an excellent insight in ways to engage children in problem solving, communication, and exploring possibilities.

I loved this book! It is a must for all teachers. It was a required text for my college class but I am very glad I read it. It describes in detail how the schools in Reggio Emilia implement their program. However, the most interesting thing is that it forces you to reflect about what is truly important when teaching children. The book explains how to implement project-based learning (including some step-by-step examples), why and how to document your classroom work, what kind of relationship you must have with the children and the parents..... Awesome book and very complete! I will read it again.

The book I ordered was received during the holidays and it still arrived before I had expected it to. The book was in better shape than described. I am very satisfied with the service and the product. And I have it in time for the upcoming school semester. It's a textbook for my advanced early childhood education class. And I know it's going to be very interesting.

This was a very thorough discussion and analysis of the Reggio Emilia approach. It's basically a compilation of individual perspectives - of American and Italian views and explanations of the approach. If you want to learn more about Reggio Emilia, this is a good choice. It's just a bit lengthy at 488 pages. It's written in a simple style (except for one chapter by an American) so it's easy to read. Nice pictures throughout.

It speaks of the history and who started the Reggio movement.

It is a wonderful book to read so the three stars are for the condition of the book.

Love it
