TEACHER was first published in 1963 to excited acclaim. Its author,
Sylvia Ashton-Warner, who lived in New Zealand and spent many years
teaching Maori children, found that Maoris taught according to
British methods were not learning to read. They were passionate,
moody children, bred in an ancient legend-haunted tradition; how
could she build them a bridge to European culture that would enable
them to take hold of the great joy of reading? Ashton-Warner
devised a method whereby written words became prized possessions
for her students. Today, her findings are strikingly relevant to
the teaching of socially disadvantaged and non-English-speaking
students. TEACHER is part diary, part inspired description of
Ashton-Warner's teaching method in action. Her fiercely loved
children come alive individually, as do the unique setting and the
character of this extraordinary woman.
