Summary: The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach Advanced Reflections, Second Edition
Comment: This book is a must for anyone interested in the Reggio Emilia approach. I have had an opportunity recently to visit Reggio Emilia and study at the Loris Malaguzzi centre. This book expresses the sentiments and understandings of Loris Malaguzzi who has cultivated this highly intellectual yet natual approach to guiding and supporting children as they learn about themselves and the place where they live and are part of. The culture, history and food of this little town can not be separated from the educational approach developed here after the war. This book expresses the dialogue of those involved with Reggio children, firstly Loris Malaguzzi as well as other world renown speakers and educators such as Howard Gardner, Lella Gandini, Carolyn Edwards, George Forman, Lillian Katz, Vea Vecchi and Rebecca New.The role of the Pedagogista is explained and supported in depth. I highly recommend this book above all other resources when exploring the Reggio Emilia approach.

Summary: Muddle Through for an Inspiring Result
Comment: The Hundred Languages of Children is a fascinating philosophy originating in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia about 50 years ago. The "hundred languages" refer to how many ways children express themselves, or modes of expression. It's not just with words, but movement, drawing, collages, music, sculpture, etc. Reggio has gone through continuous reform and updating, as the approach relies heavily on questioning, reflection, research, and adaptation.
This book discusses the critical aspects of the philosophy such as community involvement, constructivist environment, teacher collegiality and heavy/various means of documentation of the educational process.
I was intrigued by the similarities of Joe Renzulli and Sally Reiss' work at UCONN, with their enrichment learning and teaching model. In addition, it is evident that the Reggio philosophy has had a major impact on America concerning expansion of earlier childcare or preschool, and the least restrictive environment legislation for children with disabilities.
The book is not really for leisure reading, but you will be inspired by its content. The read is for educators, and for anyone who is concerned about education.

Summary: Powerful, Knowledge Building, Thought Provoking
Comment: Powerful, Knowledge Building, Thought Provoking...these are a few words that may come to your mind as you read The Hundred Languages of Children. The book is a must read for all educators, especially those that work with primary age children. It will make you reflect on your own practices as an educator and rethink your philosophy of education. One Hundred Languages of Children is an overview of the approaches used in Reggio Emilia's schools in Italy. The focus of the book centers around the roles of the teacher, children, parents, and community in a learner centered environment. Each stakeholder plays an important role in the processes of the child's learning experience. The children are encouraged to explore their environment through movement, dancing, singing, music, drawing and other modules of expression. One Hundred Languages of Children provides an excellent insight in ways to engage children in problem solving, communication, and exploring possibilities.

Summary: It's philosophical and complex
Comment: Thought-provoking. It's not an "easy" read but well worth the effort if you appreciate children and their thinking. The writing is pretty complex and deep - which makes it a great book for ongoing reflection and discussion. This book offers understanding and insight into an alternative approach to educating young children. The high regard for children as thinkers, emphasis on professional collaboration, recognizion of different "languages" (modes?)for learning, attention to aesthetics and environmental factors, and genuine support for children and their parents to play an active role in education is defintiely refreshing.

Summary: love the education profession
Comment: I was not impressed with the 'Reggio Emilia' approach. Some of the 'hands on' parts don't make alot of sense. Some do, but the rest I was not truly taken by. In general, I feel this book could have done much better with the information which was true, but not used correctly. Just my opinion, I hope it does help with the educators out there, much like myself.

The city-run early childhood program of Reggio Emilia, Italy, has become recognized and acclaimed as one of the best systems of education in the world. Over the past forty years, educators there have evolved a distinctive innovative approach that supports children's well-being and fosters their intellectual development through a systematic focus on symbolic representation. Young children (from birth to age six) are encouraged to explore their environment and express themselves through many "languages," or modes of expression, including words, movement, drawing, painting, sculpture, shadow play, collage, and music. Leading children to surprising levels of symbolic skill and creativity, the system is not private and elite but rather involves full-day child care open to all, including children with disabilities. This new Second Edition reflects the growing interest and deepening reflection upon the Reggio approach, as well as increasing sophistication in adaptation to the American context. Included are many entirely new chapters and an updated list of resources, along with original chapters revised and extended. The book represents a dialogue between Italian educators who founded and developed the system and North Americans who have considered its implications for their own settings and issues. The book is a comprehensive introduction covering history and philosophy, the parent perspective, curriculum and methods of teaching, school and system organization, the use of space and physical environments, and adult professional roles including special education. The final section describes implications for American policy and professional development and adaptations in United States primary, preschool, and child care classrooms.
