DIY Beginning Montessori Phonics for Preschoolers

November 18, 2013 By Deb Chitwood 2 Comments

Whether you’re a preschool teacher, homeschooler, or parent in general, there are many different ways you can use Montessori techniques to introduce phonics. I used Montessori methods to easily teach children to read as a Montessori teacher and with my own children.

DIY Beginning Montessori Phonics for Preschooelrs

Today I’m going to share some of the posts I’ve published with DIY Montessori phonics ideas you can use at home or in a classroom. Montessori activities don’t have to be expensive, so you’ll see lots of creative ways to prepare your own activities.

In the posts, you’ll find ideas for presenting Montessori phonics activities as well. While there’s a Montessori language sequence you can follow completely, you can also use Montessori phonics for the beginning phonics activities and then just follow your child’s needs for reading activities later on.
