Language

Matching objects to letters.

Literacy is a life-long asset. The Montessori approach to literacy provides the young child with literacy equipment which suits their age and interest.

For example, letters and sounds are introduced with "sandpaper letters" whilst children still enjoy touching and feeling.

This individualised approach to learning phonetically allows the child to absorb this information at their own pace, preparing them for further education at a Montessori school, or for the scheduled learning in regular schooling.

Books, picture cards, language games and further activities build on their literacy foundations.
