TEACHER – ENGLISH – Sylvia Ashton-Warner 

First published in 1963, TEACHER was immediately acclaimed as a seminal work, one which radically altered the way in which we transmit knowledge to the young. Sylvia Ashton-Warner’s exhilarating and simple concept of  Organic Teaching” based on over twenty years of experience, uses a “Key Vocabulary” in which the teacher enters the children’s own experience to help them read and write. Sylvia’s methods were later used extensively by many educators namely the revolutionary educator Paulo Friere from Brazil to teach the landless laborers, unschooled workers, jobless youth to read and write in just 45 days!
