Language Arts Teaching Manual Vol. 2 - Early Childhood

The Language Arts Volume II Early Childhood Manual (formerly known as Language Arts Volume III and Volume IV) offers a comprehensive guide to the Montessori language arts curriculum for children aged three to six. The Manual provides background information and practical descriptions on using the Sandpaper Letters and Metal Insets for writing and the Moveable Alphabet for pre-reading exercises. It includes step-by-step presentations of the Montessori Pink Series (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words) and Lilac Series (Sight Words). Language functions not only as a device for reporting experience or for the purpose of communication; it also functions as a self-contained, creative, symbolic organization. Language is both a tool for humans to express themselves as well as one that defines the experience of its users (speakers and writers).

The Language Arts Volume II Early Childhood Manual delves into reading exercises incorporating Three-Part Cards, Moveable Alphabet, Picture/Words, Booklets, and Word Lists. It includes presentations of the Montessori Blue Series (Consonant Blends) and Green Series (Phonograms).

Blue Series: consonant digraphs th, sh, ch, tch, ck, wh, ph and ng, and 21 consonant blends
Green Series: with the dipthongs, hard and soft c and g, silent letters g, k, h, u, b, e, long vowel sounds ar, er, ir, or, ur
