The Pink Series refers to the Montessori beginning reading sequence. The Pink Series isolates three letter words that have the consonant-vowel-consonant (c-v-c) sequence such as “cat.” This “controlled vocabulary” of selected words are represented by pictures. The Pink Series words are organized into groups by the vowels: can, gas, ham; bed, men, ten; bib, fin, lip; dog, fox, mop;bud, gum, pup. “Word families” are organized into grouped by the two ending letters: for example “can, fan, man”; “bed, fed, led”; “dip,lip, tip”; “cob, job, mob”; “bug, jug, tug.”
This material is the second reading activity in The Pink Series: Phonic Pictures with Word Labels.
This activity is preceded by the “writing” activity of using the Phonic Picture Cards (LAP.03) with the Moveable Alphabet. With this material, the Phonic Picture Cards with Word Labels (LAP.04), the child “reads” the word label and matches the label to the picture. The third step is the introduction of reading booklets, the Phonic Reading Books (LAP.05), which present the book-format with the controlled vocabulary. The last step, Phonic Word Lists (LAP.06), isolates the controlled vocabulary from any picture cue.
