Exploring the Montessori materials for language and literacy

The hands-on Montessori materials, developed and refined by Dr. Montessori in collaboration with teachers observing children around the world, allow us to personalize education without screens and put children in the driver’s seat of their own learning. Come get hands-on with Montessori materials for language and literacy–  from grasping the basics of phonics to exploring new vocabulary and refining comprehension.
