Montessori: Letter Work

This book follows the Montessori method by introducing the letters of the alphabet as sounds and shapes before memorizing their names.

There are currently no other books in the children's market called "Montessori".; There are an estimated 7,000 certified Montessori schools worldwide and numerous more that use the name and select tenets.; While alphabet board books are the mainstay of children's concept shelves, none before have taught the sound before the letter, nor grouped letters by shape rather than alpha order.; Features gritty sandpaper finish for tactile tracing.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

These unique board books bring the popular Montessori pedagogy to trade book form for the first time. Using materials and methods common to Montessori classrooms, these interactive board books immerse young children in an aesthetically rich learning experience, while providing parents and caregivers with carefully crafted language to encourage understanding.

In Montessori classrooms, students learn to write before they learn to read, so the process is driven by their own words and thoughts before those of others. Letters are taught first as sounds (instead of names), and alphabet tiles encourage children to trace each letter with their fingers. Montessori: Letter Work honours that tradition by emulating the standard classroom material with touchable, traceable letters and beautiful colours that evoke the elegant simplicity of the Montessori aesthetic.
