Saniyyah Khalilallah did it again with a fun guide to introducing your children to the Montessori way. The implementation of these skills would be easy and fun, especially letting kids see the pictures included in the guide. The chart is a great idea to help children learn to self-guide. Great resource for both Montessori households and non-Montessori households alike, as we all want our children to learn to help out at home and want ideas on how to make it more fun!

I can help at home is a valuable resource for both children and parents. It gives life changing skills that are not overwhelming. It is a confidence builder. Each chore gives a step by step instructions on home chores such as washing dishes, watering plants, sweeping the floor, etc. Along with the instructions are life pictures of young children doing these chores.

Along with that, parent tips to encourage your child for these skills. A great read along, talk about, and live out!

A special thank you to Storey Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This is such a great book to teach children some of the very important life skills. I really liked how the author depicted the step -by-step instructions for each life skill . I also thought that the illustrations were very easy to follow for children to lean the life skill.
I would highly recommend this book . It would make a great addition to any school or home library !

I love this practical, diverse, well laid out Montessori material. Montessori's principals of real life, order, and approachable for age level are well laid out in this cute resource book! I love that children can see the steps, see the materials they need, and then replicate them well. I would put this in both my home and my classroom as a Practical Life material.

I Help at Home is a book for younger children to learn how to complete simple tasks at home. It includes photographs of a diverse assortment of children performing those tasks. There are also pictures of the tools needed to complete each task. The tasks include: sweeping, washing windows, dusting, cleaning my bedroom, mopping, scrubbing the table, setting the table, washing dishes, making a bouquet, caring for plants, and doing laundry. These step by step instructions are inspired by traditional Montessori classroom lessons. There is also a section for grown ups to show why it is important to teach young children these tasks. The child also has a section where they can slide when the task is complete.
This would be perfect for parents/ caregivers of young children. It would also be good in a preschool class to teach the skills even if they are not necessarily implementing those skills in a classroom setting. This would be great for a special education classroom that teaches functional skills.

Great step by step guide about how children can help around the house. The list includes moping, dusting, setting up the table, and washing the dishes. All parents can definitely benefit something from this book, as it includes detailed sequence with photos.

I wish the author could provide more information at the back about some of her suggestions. For example: sequencing. How do you teach sequencing for young children?

A very informative book for young children learning to develop independent skills. A variety of household chores are covered with step-by-step pictures and instructions. It even includes a chart to measure progress for each skill. Children will love feeling successful when they master these tasks!

Thank you Storey Publishing and NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great teaching and learning book for me and my daughter! Loved the illustrations and pictures! We even cleaned up together as well and she was so happy because she was doing it like her book! What a great way to help children get more involved and further their learning and independence

One of the most important tasks as a parent is to teach your child the necessary skills to survive on its own in the real world, to prepare them for an independent life and I highly believe that you can't start early enough with this. Montessori is all about empowering your child to be independent and to master their skills. This book guides you step by step through everyday life skills and how to teach them to your toddler/child. It's simple to understand for your child and you as picture show the frequence of every task with simple explanations. It guides you and your child through each step and taking the guess work out for you. I loved this book even as a not 100% Montessori family I think it is an absolute must read. And for those who want to start Montessori at home I highly recommend this.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NG for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I hadn't heard of the "Montessori life skills" thing before until I saw a bunch of Instagram videos talking about them recently. This book is something I envision can be read with a child, with steps also showing them visually how to help around at the house. So, it's a double win: learning about helping/life skills & reading. Pretty simple production, I think it's okay! Easy to follow and has a range of activities and people represented.

What a fantastic book to use with / alongside children to teach them all the basic skills they need to be able to help out with basic chores around the house. It has very clear, simple and child-friendly photographs to help guide the child step by step through each job. This treasure of a book will help build a child’s confidence with day to day tasks, helping them believe they can do things for themselves. This sense of independence will help any child to develop a healthy mindset of just having a go. The added section at the end for parents /carers is a real bonus too.

Thank you to Storey Publishing and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.
