Language Manuals (2.5 - 6yrs) (PDF.copy)

The Montessori language curriculum follows a multidimensional approach and offers developmentally appropriate activities and materials for all areas including phonics, reading, writing, grammar and oral language following a systematic process.

This manual deals with systematic activities for step by step progression in phonics including a comprehensive plan to practice 44 phonic sounds of English language along with their common 144 different alphabetic representations (graphemes). Further activities lead children through three lettered phonetic words (pink level), longer phonetic words (blue level), high frequency words (sight words), phonogramic words (green level) and finally total reading.

Along side, the use of metal insets train the child's hand for manipulating the pencil and sandpaper letters make him familiar with the way to write them. 

This manual also takes you to the next level of Montessori language exercises. Children are introduced to the capital letters and the sequence of the alphabet. Chalk boards and alphabet sorting exercises go hand in hand to further the child's skill in writing. The function of words (including nouns, articles, verb, interjections, adjective, pronoun, etc.) introduces the child to forms of speech using concrete symbols. The farm house exercises teach the child the proper use of function of words in phrases and sentences.
