The History of English

The story of the English language is a nice extension to the History of Writing (Montessori Great Lesson). This short ebook for teachers contains the story of English, from its roots in German dialects, through the adoption of Latin vocabulary, to the infusion of Old Norse and Norman-French. The story is simply written for reading to the children.

Included are:
introductory comments;
the story itself to be read to the children;
and recommended visual aids.
This concise history is designed to engage your child's imagination and to serve as a launching point for further exploration and activity. This small book is excerpted from
The Complete Montessori Language Arts Teacher's Manual
