The Montessori Language Curriculum provides children with the knowledge and skills to build their vocabulary and understanding of language. The skills required for reading, writing and oral language are developed through hands-on experience using the Montessori language materials.

 

Children learn letter sounds (phonics), letter identification and formation, how to combine sounds to make words, how to build simple sentences, and how to properly hold a pencil.

 

Oral language skills are developed through daily social interactions, group time experiences, and lessons in grace and courtesy.

 

Example materials and activities include:

• Sandpaper Letters

• Moveable Alphabet

• Metal Insets

• Three Part Cards
