The Language Arts Volume I – Early Childhood Manual paves the way for the Montessori language arts curriculum for children from birth to six year old. The Manual provides background information on early literacy development, the history of language, curriculum scope and sequence, early intervention and practical exercises for the classroom. The Manual also delineates the language component of each Montessori curricula area.
Vocabulary enrichment in each curricula area ultimately sharpens a child’s skills in observation, and concept development.Listening/speaking activities can occur each day in the classroom setting at large group lessons, small group lessons, and individual lessons or at home.
These activities develop:
- Attention
- Self-control
- Auditory memory
- Indirect preparation for written commands
- Self-confidence (Increased vocabulary and concept development builds self-confidence.)
