Language development is included in the entire Montessori classroom. \u00a0Activities in the other curriculum areas foster vocabulary development, communication skills, writing and reading.<\/p>\n
In the Montessori Method, writing precedes reading, as the children explore with drawing and forming letters. \u00a0Reading is prepared indirectly from writing. The child starts from what he\/she knows about the letters and the sounds.\u00a0 Introduction to language begins with giving meaning to the symbols of our alphabet. \u00a0When the child discovers that each letter has a sound and that sounds blended together create words, he\/she begins to read independently.\u00a0 Sandpaper letters utilize a child’s natural desire and sensitivity to touch to provide a phonetic basis for reading.<\/p>\n
When the discovery is made that words strung together\u00a0 create meaningful speech, children begin to isolate parts of speech and grasp the concept of a proper sentence. \u00a0Assimilation of language results in an expansion of both vocabulary and writing competence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”252,315,302,251,253,254,282″ onclick=”link_no”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
