Language Lessons Audio CD
Language Lessons: Montessori-based Literacy Presentations for the Young Child by Julia Volkman
Language Audio CD:  $9.95
Montessori classroom and specific instructions on how to present language lessons, including
www.maitrilearning.com/downloads or you can order a CD here. 1 hour and 20 minutes of lecture.

Lectures include general guidelines for giving Montessori presentations, an overview of the primary
learning events that prepare the child for reading (a reading road map), and specific step-by-step
presentations for vocabulary building, sorting activities, playing "I spy," matching games, and using
3-part card materials for phonetic reading, early whole language reading activities, teaching
zoology/taxonomy, and presenting external anatomy via the "parts of" cards. Step-by-step instructions
for using multi-part definition cards (word puzzles) and for teaching foreign languages with 3-part
cards are also included.

Note: Before a child can become a true master of our language, s/he he needs self-confidence, an
organized mind, a knowledge (internal dictionary) of words, endless opportunities to practice
speaking/using words, phonetic awareness (knowledge of the sounds/symbols in our language),
endless opportunities to create/write words, and the desire to write/read. The complete Montessori
3-6 curriculum directly meets each of these needs of the child.
The information presented in these
talks will be most effective only when the rest of the Montessori curriculum is being implemented.
Specifically, if you are observing disorder in the child's ability to master our language, your first
remedy is to address the disorder in the child's environment
(both the physical space and his/her
routines). Organizing the child's space and routines is a rich art that is an integrated part of the
Montessori 3-6 practical life/everyday living curriculum (which includes specific lessons on caring for
the self, caring for the child's environment, learning gracious/courteous behavior, and mastering
motor skills (control of movement).

You can learn more about Montessori education at
The International Montessori Index and at The
North American Montessori Teacher's Association (NAMTA).
