Method of teaching children to become familiar with the Alphabet

  The Montessori method – a way to help children get familiar with the Alphabet. Children learn to read and write unconsciously. By holding toys, children learn how to hold a pen. And children learn to write from a doodle on paper. Also, by listening to the first sounds of words, your child will learn how sounds combine to form a word. With the Montessori method, children learn to read and write in a very natural way. They can study on their own time budget, without any constraints. Movable Alphabet As Dr. Maria Montessori once said: “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” ” What the hand does, the mind remembers.” It is quite common in the Montessori teaching method when children begin to learn from the most concrete things and gradually move to more abstract concepts.

The Elementary child now has tremendous power of imagination and a newfound ability for abstract thought that works in conjunction with a reasoning mind. The child revels in colossal stories of great consequence or of immense courage and bravery and has tremendous respect for the characters found within these stories.

THE MIS KINDERGARTEN CLASS

    Practical Life Learning to be independent. The Practical Life area provides a link between home and school. In this area, the child learns (dependent on age) to perform the same activities they have seen at home such as washing hands, cleaning, mopping, polishing, pouring, zipping, buckling, tying, folding, fastening nuts and bolts of varying sizes, etc. They also prepare the lunchroom and clear away their dirty plates, etc. Practical Life activities are purposeful and calming.
