5 Domains of Montessori
Language materials for learning basic skills in writing and reading are developed through the use of sandpaper letters, alphabet cut-outs, and various pictorial presentations allowing children to link sounds and letter symbols effortlessly.
These language activities help the children learn the alphabets through phonetic sounds. Children’s interests are stimulated through songs, rhymes and stories. These activities also aid in developing vocabulary and proper sentence structures that helps to build an important foundation for writing and developing good communication skills which promotes interest in reading.
