Books Dedicated To Chess Education?

Sort:

I know  there are countries that include  chess in their education system. Are there books that could be used as a resource for educating kids? Much like some books published to teach math? Or any subject? Are these books available in English language?

Ofcourse it could be used to teach anyone at any age. There are a lot of books that are dedicated to chess in general,  but they are not necessarily proper for educating some one from the beginning.

Are any of those education-specific  books translated to English? From those countries that include chess in their education system?

I did go through the site but unfortunately they don't have a list of books that I could find. But i could be mistaken.

Write them and explain clearly what you are looking for; they may be able to help.

I can recommend this website by an acquaintance here in Denver who runs a chess academy.  You will also find a list of books he has written.

For what it's worth, here's a training manual from the Chess Federation of Canada:

The Steps Method manuals and workbooks by Dutch IM Cor van Wijgerden and psychologist Rob Brunia (and GM Erwin L'Ami) are used in chess schools around the world:

Thanks, Mr. Thomas.  I don't know if this is what joseph1000000 is looking for, but I downloaded the Teacher's Guide if I'm ever called upon to teach chess to young children or even adults.  By the way, here is the direct link to the Step Method in English from your initial post.
