HOW SHALL THE DISADVANTAGED CHILD BE TAUGHT?

A 1-to-1 tutorial language program is illustrated in a series of dialogues between a teacher and a 4-year-old socially disadvantaged child. The teaching is analyzed both according to the deficiencies of the child's thinking and the techniques designed to foster the abstract thinking necessary to overcome these deficiencies. This program is contrasted to teaching done by a person trained in the traditional nursery school philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
