Language

In a Montessori classroom, children learn the phonetic sounds of the letters before they learn the alphabetical names in a sequence. The phonetic sounds are given first because these are the sounds they hear in words that they need to be able to read. Grammar is also introduced to the children (when they show readiness) with different games that show them that nouns are the names of things, adjectives describe nouns and verbs are action words. These activities are enjoyable to the children, and enhance their understanding of language.
