Sylvia
Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 1985
3 Feb 2025 - 03.21pm
I wrote a book about Sylvia Ashton-Warner. I learned her ways of teaching reading from her books, and developed an interest in her life, a feminist life before it was the usual thing. The book is called Pay Attention to the Children, and may be obtained from me. Please send postage charges (US to NZ) as well as cover cost. My website is eceteacher.org
