Object-Teaching : Or Words and Things (Classic Reprint)

Master the classroom’s most effective approach to teaching by linking language to real objects, building clearer understanding for every student.

This edition presents T. G. Rooper’s exploration of Object Teaching, a method that treats words and things as intertwined in learning. It explains how observation, analysis, and the careful use of language support students as they move from vague impressions to precise ideas. The text frames Object Teaching as the foundation for all learning, not just specialized lessons, guiding teachers toward practical, observation-rich instruction.

- Learn how words help analyze objects by naming and separating their parts.
- See how language supports learners in distinguishing the self from the world and in forming clear concepts.
- Explore hands-on guidance for presenting objects, asking questions, and shaping students’ observations.
- Discover why speech can be an outward expression of inner understanding and a tool for deeper learning.

Ideal for teachers seeking a structured, evidence-based approach to early science and language lessons, parent educators, and anyone interested in the philosophy behind object-centered teaching.
