Lean to Read with Montessori. A workbook for kindergarten children to learn their first letters through play using Montessori principles. Ages 3-4. This is the full color edition. A child around the age of 4 and 6 years old has usually already mastered their native language. It is at that moment when the child already has a fairly large vocabulary and is already sufficiently prepared to be able to start reading and writing. It is not necessary for a child to start primary school to learn to read and write, but the child can begin at home at an earlier age to become familiar with writing and reading. The Montessori Method is one of the simplest and most effective methods to put into practice so that the child can begin to read and write. This Montessori methodology is characterized for prioritizing the independence and autonomy of the child. One of the basic principles of Montessori method is that the child must be given the freedom to discover the letters and words for themselves. That is why, in addition to all the content you have in this book, you must rely on sensory materials that allow the child to experience the poems through their senses. In this book, you will find multiple images to cut out, color, and learn the letters with. Another curiosity of the Montessori method, is that it encourages taking advantage of the child's sensitive periods, a moment in their development in which they are already prepared to assume new knowledge and are more receptive to learning certain things. According to this method, it is useless to force a child to learn something for which they are not yet prepared; so it is important to wait until they have reached the necessary maturity to learn to read and write. This method is also committed to adapting the learning process to the rhythm of each child, since some advance faster than others. Adapting to the child's speed is therefore very important. Unlike the traditional method of learning syllables, the Montessori Method focuses on learning phonemes independently since it makes the sound units smaller and easier for the child to learn them. In this workbook you will find different pictures, letters and activities to help the child start reading. How to do it? Since the Montessori Method adapts 100% to the rhythm and preferences of the child, it is convenient to ask, for example, what they like most about the room, what they would like to learn more about the letters. This way, we will help the child have a real interest in learning the letters of each word. If the child loves their dinosaur toy, we can say "What do you think if today we learn the letters of the word "dinosaur"? And we'll start this book with the letter D.
