Montessori Monday – 20+ Apple Phonics Activities

August 24, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 19 Comments

I have a roundup today of 20+ apple phonics activities with lots of great ideas for reinforcing phonics skills … perfect for back to school or any time in the fall!

Montessori Monday - 20+ Apple Phonics Activities

Montessori Phonics

Phonics is a very important part of the Montessori language curriculum. Note: In Montessori education, we teach phonetic sounds before letter names. For any of the activities below, I would emphasize the letter sounds. Also, if you want to follow Montessori tradition, make the letters lowercase for your activities. Of course, set up your activities however works best for you and your child or students.

You can learn more about Montessori phonics through the links in this post: DIY Beginning Montessori Phonics for Preschoolers. Even though not all the activities featured here were intended to emphasize phonetic sounds rather than letter names, they can easily be taught in that way using techniques from this post: Inexpensive and DIY Sandpaper Letters.

    By far our favorite fall activities are farm-related, whether joining in local harvest festivals or various pumpkin projects like carving, roasting and eating seeds, making pie, and, new this year, a pumpkin rolling contest!

    Probably apple picking and going to the great pumpkin farm. Although walks through pretty trees always makes me happy, too 🙂

    Our favorite fall activity is eating pumpkin pancakes! We also like walking and bike riding since it’s not so hot and even my 3 year old understands that the leaves are changing colors!
