The Montessori Pink Reading Series

https://childrenshouse.co.za/shop/the...

This is the first series in the Montessori literacy curriculum. This series provides the Child with an in-depth understanding of word building and reading. This language material activity explores sounds, letters, word building. Using the large movable alphabet the Child learns vocabulary; phonetically sounding out the three letter words.

From the ‘I Spy’ sensory phonics game with objects only (the objects are sold separately), to the Pink Box 3 word suggestions; this activity builds in complexity. Picture and word cards, pink word lists, phrases and sentences and finally the Child’s first book, the Pink Book are all included in this set.
