Montessori Language and Phonics Home Study Course
This is a 2 module program on our private learning platform. The Language module works together with the resources in the Phonics & Spelling for Everybody I, Montessori Language Supplement module (description below). The detailed information about the phonics program, as well as the PDF files to make an extensive set of Pink, Blue, Green scheme reading materials, are in the Phonics module. This 2 module program gives you the practical information you need to set up a complete beginning Language environment.
The Language Area is the muscular system of the Montessori classroom. This area provides the skills and vocabulary that children need to move into knowledge of every sort. When a child reads fluidly, easily, and with effortless understanding of the text, the entire world of information is within reach. Being in on the secret code of what we call each thing in the environment brings great confidence and a lifelong love of words.
Good reading habits, built on a complete knowledge of the phonetic code of English, make books of any reading level accessible to children. Montessori language exercises help children successfully avoid the potential stumbling blocks of word guessing, confusing reading and spelling strategies, and a haphazard approach to new words.
This module gives you the practical pieces you need to set up a complete beginning Language environment. You will learn how to choose and make materials that will build reading, writing, and spelling skills all year. You’ll learn to use children’s natural love of miniature objects to offer them exercises that keep them practicing each skill and
letter sound until they have it mastered. Practical guidelines are given to make quality materials economically and to make smart purchases that fit into a tight budget.
Give children strong reading, spelling, and writing skills, along with a large vocabulary, and they will confidently explore knowledge on their own. A love of books and writing will open doors for them all their lives.

Phonics & Spelling for Everybody I
Reading well and spelling well require two very different learning strategies. With a strong visual memory foundation, children can learn to spell well much as they learn to ride a bike. Learn it once and you never need to learn it again. If they learn the set of behaviors that allow them to accurately remember words they see, those words are automatically stored whenever they read. Using the strategy, they accurately recall correct spellings when they write and to know when they need to double check a word.
Reading with ease and understanding is a more complex skill but one that can be learned quickly. Children need to be taught the complete phonetic code of English, and good reading habits, in order to become good readers. When given these tools, children easily learn to master reading material classified as well above their grade level.
This manual walks you through a systematic approach to the entire phonetic code as well as the most effective spelling strategy. It gives you an organized, easy to master alternative to teaching dozens of high frequency, irregular words as “sight words.” Learn to teach your children essential sounding out skills and give them practice with words that will let them master the phonetic code.
Give children the building blocks of strong reading and spelling skills and books and writing become joyful ways to explore and express. Spare them from tiresome grade-
leveled reading material by giving them phonics skills that allow them to enjoy any book they choose.
