Insight into the unique and exacting methods and materials unlocking your child’s innate yearning for autonomy and knowledge.

Introduction to reading as a form of silent communication Help child analyze graphic symbols (letters) of a word to discover its meaning Continue refining manual dexterity Development of concentration Like so many Montessori “jobs,” this introduction to reading is skillfully presented as a “game” by an experienced guide. The tiny, real world objects are inherently fascinating to a young child and matching them to single-syllable written words as he or she sounds them out phonetically is inherently exciting and rewarding. Another great example of Dr. Montessori’s maxim that “Play is a child’s work.”
