Language
“The mind and the hand are prepared separately for written language and follow different roads to the same goal” –Dr. Montessori
Before a child learns to read, he builds his oral language skills. His increases his vocabulary, and his ability to comprehend and express himself. Lakewood Montessori teachers help facilitate this process through group activities such as singing, poetry, rhyming games, stories and books.
There are language materials throughout the classroom. The activities that teach classification, sequence, rhyming, patterning, and training of the visual and auditory senses, all prepare a child to read. Specially designed hands-on manipulatives teach sounds, letters, reading, and writing.
