Montessori Phonics

Montessori phonics is a sequence of exercises and materials to foster the needed movements and coordination to be practiced in preparation for actual reading and writing.
Montessori phonics emphasizes on the following:

Small group size

Individual coaching

Association of concrete, abstract materials to phonetic sound

Structured learning tailored to individual's learning progress

Close monitoring of individual's learning progress

Increased and enriched sound language experiences with intensive and continuous stimulation

 

By the end of the course, Montessori children are able to read phonetically with confidence. It is the mastery to read phonetically that distinguishes Montessori phonics from other methods where children may be taught to memorize the pronunciation to a word.
