Language 6
Language is based on phonetic awareness. Children work through specific hands-on and tactile language materials such as the Sand Paper Letters to the Moveable Alphabet. Language is not an isolated topic but runs through the curriculum. The spoken language is the foundation for writing and then reading. Dr. Montessori recognized that writing as a coding skill comes before reading, a decoding skill. Basic skills in writing are developed through the use of the sandpaper letters, chalk boards, sand trays and metal insets.
