Teaching Reading with Words in Color

By: Caleb Gattegno

In this reprinted edition of Caleb Gattegno's 1967 book Teaching Reading with Words in Color, teachers are guided through the science and practicalities of using this revolutionary literacy approach. From using a pointer to tap on the charts to studying structures with the use of grammar cards and other materials, Gattegno paints the picture of a well-rounded Words in Color classroom. Although the materials have been updated over the years, this guide still speaks to the heart of this learning-centered approach to teaching reading, writing, and spelling.

Know Your Children As They Are

By: Caleb Gattegno

Parents love their children, but how well do they understand them? This book is a contribution to making the general public aware that children can be understood if grown-ups do what is required - that is, try to make sense of what children do with their time to change it into experience. What children do varies with their ages. The different tasks of different periods is what we shall explore in this three-part book. The first part focuses on babies, the second part on young children, the third part on adolescents. Insights into each of these stages are expanded in Gattegno's age-specific trilogy The Universe of Babies, Of Boys and Girls, and The Adolescent and His Will.

On Love was written by Gattegno as a personal exploration and as a means of creating a space for reflection and discussion with his readers.

Evolution and Memory

By: Caleb Gattegno

As Dr. Gattegno wrote The Science of Education treatise, he delved deep into the root of learning. This journey took him into the brain, through the ages, and caused him to greatly consider evolution and human potential. He put some of his findings aside for use in this book. Scientists of education may find this slim volume indispensable for their study of memory and its place in our ways of educating the young. "Looking at all the references made to evolution in my writings on education over 30 years, I now find here and there a link of what is cardinal in this book: that individuality is the key to understanding evolution." - Caleb Gattegno

The Science of Education Chapter 13

The Learning and Teaching of Foreign Languages

By: Caleb Gattegno

In this chapter of the Science of Education treatise, Caleb Gattegno asserts that since learners of foreign languages are already fluent in at least one language, they hold all the skills necessary to learn another. And while babies do not learn to speak through teachers, classes, and materials, foreign-language teachers can still optimize this artificial environment to trigger the awarenesses and experiences that lead to fluency. By learning our first language, we have all gained great language expertise. This chapter discusses how one can access this expertise and put it to use in the learning and teaching of foreign languages.

Teaching Foreign Languages in Schools

The Silent Way

By: Caleb Gattegno

In this book, Gattegno introduces The Silent Way as a solution to the challenges of teaching and learning foreign languages. He explains how to maximize learning through the use of materials and the selection of subject matter. He argues that students can learn a new language without memorizing vocabulary or repeating after the teacher. Instead, by learning through real-world linguistic situations, students can gain relevant experiences in the new language.

The Common Sense of Teaching Mathematics

By: Caleb Gattegno

Since knowing produces knowledge, and not the other way around, this book shows how everyone can be a producer rather than a consumer of mathematical knowledge. Mathematics can be owned as a means of mathematizing the universe, just as the power of verbalizing molds itself to all the manifold demands of experience." C. Gattegno

What We Owe Children

The Subordination of Teaching to Learning

By: Caleb Gattegno

How do children learn? How are they taught? These are two fundamental questions in education. Caleb Gattegno provides a direct and lucid analysis, and concludes that much current teaching, far from feeding and developing the learning process, actually stifles it. Memory, for instance, the weakest of the mental powers available for intelligent use, is almost the only faculty to be exploited in the educational system, and holds little value in preparing a student for the future. Gattegno's answer is to show how learning and teaching can properly work together, what schools should achieve, and what parents have a right to expect.

The Science of Education Part 2B

The Awareness of Mathematization

By: Caleb Gattegno

Until now, it was left to chance to produce the number of mathematicians the world needed. Now we can work deliberately and diligently at increasing their numbers . . . Each individual will be able to decide whether becoming a professional mathematician suits him or her, or whether, after tasting this intellectual nourishment, they prefer other involvements to become more permanent. Such a choice was never mentioned in the past because the gift for doing math was considered rare and not easily brought about in those who did not display it spontaneously. This volume attempts to show how at least the first steps can be taken in this enterprise." -Caleb Gattegno

The Mind Teaches the Brain

By: Caleb Gattegno

It is futile to reduce all mental life to functionings of the brain. This observation does not make the brain any the less mysterious, challenging, or important in our lives. It suggests only that we may find more about the brain by knowing more about how the mind penetrates it, makes the brain do what it wants, and uses it as its instrument. The brain does not know pain while all other parts of the soma do. Doesn't this alone say that the brain is only a relay to the knowing self-which then experiences pain? In this book, Gattegno examines the role of the brain, the mind, and the self in various aspects of human life, and the implications these roles might have.

Infused Readers

Infused Readers

By: Amy Logan

Infused Readers are a collection of 15 books that organize and simplify the English language for people learning, or teaching, to read. The series is based on Apple Computer software developed by Dr. Caleb Gattegno in the 1980s called Infused Reading. These paperback Readers introduce each target sound individually, and assign it a unique color. As different spellings for the same sound appear, learners can refer back to what they know about the color, and trust themselves to decode and produce the correct sound. Once all of the sounds in the book have been introduced and practiced, students will see that a story has been built one sound at a time. From there, intonation can be practiced, and meaning discussed. Infused Readers are a part of the Words in Color family, but were designed to stand on their own. It is recommended that all users of Infused Readers begin with Book 1 in order to become familiar with the color code. Other learning materials in the Words in Color family include: - Pop Ups (animated series) - Words in Color Wall Charts (a set of 21 color-coded charts in a variety of sizes) - Reading Primer R2 - Student Workbook 1 - Book of Stories - The Beginner's Guide to Teaching with Words in Color - The Common Sense of Teaching Reading and Writing For more information see www.EducationalSolutions.com

The Common Sense of Teaching Foreign Languages

By: Caleb Gattegno

Gattegno wrote this book as a scientist interested in learning processes, as a student interested in the mastery of foreign languages, and as a teacher interested in providing his students with ideal learning conditions. These perspectives combined with years of research, travel, and fieldwork create a full insight into the problem of learning a foreign language. He argues that learning a language should not be about recitation and memorization, but about the natural learning processes we have used since birth. "In fact," he writes, "We can no more say that we remember our language than that we remember how to stand up or walk.
