Montessori Word Study Printables for Preschool Through Elementary

November 22, 2019 By Deb Chitwood Leave a Comment

I may not be the norm in this, but I love word study activities! I’m so excited to be able to tell you about some Montessori word study printables that will help preschoolers through elementary-age kids develop a love of word study, too!

Disclosure: I’ve been given a copy of the Every Star Is Different materials to review. My opinions are honest and my own. This post contains affiliate links (at no cost to you). 

I’ve loved all the materials I’ve used from Every Star Is Different. The Montessori Word Study printables are great additions to any Montessori classroom or homeschool program. You can get the Montessori Word Study Activities Bundle when it’s available or the individual printable packs at any time by going through this link.

The printables are designed to be compatible with the Montessori early elementary curriculum. They can be adapted for preschoolers who can read and upper elementary as well.

My 6-year-old granddaughter, Zoey, and I have just started using the printables and love them already. We even have an activity that my toddler grandkids (Sophia at 23 months and Caleb at 20 months) had fun with, too. There are so, so many more materials that we’ll have fun using in the future!

Here are the awesome word study materials available from Every Star Is Different:

Rhyming Words Picture Matchup with Sheep in a Jeep Book

Rhyming Words Picture Matchup with Sheep in a Jeep Book

I like to feature a book with lots of rhyming words, like the fun Sheep in a Jeep, along with the rhyming words picture matchup. Thee are many pictures available in the printable, so you can choose however many will be best for your child or classroom.

Matching Objects to Rhyming Word Pictures Tape and Grape, Goat and Boat

This even works for toddlers! For toddlers, we just used the pictures along with objects for 2 sets of rhyming words: tape and grape for the first set and goat and boat for the second set. First my daughter, Chrissy, demonstrated the activity to Caleb and Sophia. Here Caleb is matching the objects to the pictures.

Here, Sophia is matching the objects to the pictures. This is a great way to focus on vocabulary, matching, and the concept of rhyming with toddlers.

For Zoey, I had a large number of rhyming pictures and words available.

I love the book Once There Was a Bull…(frog)! It’s a silly and memorable introduction to compound words. It’s available inexpensively used.

Adding Picture Cards to Compound Word Equations

Adding Picture Cards to Compound Word Equations

Zoey loved the compound word equations! First, she read all the equations. Then she placed each of the pictures inside the corresponding boxes. She was very careful to get them aligned correctly!

Checking the Compound Word Equations with Control Cards

Then she added each of the control equations, checking each equation and placing the control below her completed equation.

I featured the book If you were a Prefix with the prefix materials. I love to add interest and make concepts clearer with books. The prefix picture sorting cards are in a Montessori cards display box. The prefix definition chart, prefix matchup word strips, and prefix matchup chart are in a 6.5 x 4 x 1″ wooden tray. The prefix matchup charts are great for control of error. There are 3 sets of charts for both definitions and matchups. I just have set 1 out.
