Abstract
Maria Montessori's theory of education is examined with emphasis upon its implications for the speech‐communication development of children. Detailed in the article are: (1) Mon‐tessori's theory of speech and language acquisition, (2) her pedagogical procedure for teaching spoken vocabulary, and (3) the educational environment she suggests which supports children's free interaction and facilitates their development into willing, confident communicators.
