Review Quotes

What Readers Are Saying:

"Renewal of Literacy(R) [Edition] is the future of Waldorf language arts instruction. Helping to unearth misunderstandings in Waldorf tradition and get to the heart of literacy development, this book is an essential resource for all Waldorf teachers, schools, and homeschooling parents." -Melissa Carpenter, Grades Teacher, Tamarack Waldorf School

I wish I had had this volume when I began teaching my first Waldorf class! Nowhere else have I encountered evidence of such thorough research of Rudolf Steiner's indications regarding best practices for teaching language arts in the early grades. -Laura Embrey-Stine, former class teacher (Sacramento Waldorf School), former pedagogical chair (Camellia Waldorf School), co-author of Form Drawing Grades One through Four, and form drawing consultant (www.lauraembrey.com)

"I love the Renewal of Literacy(R) Edition. As teachers seek to understand children raised in the technological world of today yet retain the innocence of childhood, Jennifer Militzer-Kopperl shows the path. The ability to question Waldorf pedagogy yet stay true to its basic tenets makes this new edition a valuable resource for teachers. I particularly like the sacred nothing sections, and I find this edition easier to read." -Mary Spotts, literacy specialist, Denver Waldorf School
