Reading & Writing with Montessori - I spy game and sound games
Many parents are eager to teach their child to read and write. If you are already familiar with the Montessori method, you may have purchased the Sandpaper letter and you would like to know how to teach the alphabet to your little one. But hold on a minute. The written letters are an abstract concept, the representation of the spoken sounds that make up words when blended together. Before starting to "teach" the visual representation of the sounds, aka the letters, your child must develop a phonetic awareness. You will have already begun to read books to your child and books that have a rhyme and rhythm within them. Make sure you also read poetry and rhyme books. These will help your child to recognize sound rhythms, how sounds go together, how sounds make up words. In addition to this natural way of listening to sound and rhythms, you can play a variety of sound games to raise her phonetic awareness. In this video, I show you a simple I spy game and how to play rhyming games.
