Here's a game that can be played anywhere, needs no special materials and can be fun for just you and your child, or for everyone in the room! It's an old favorite with a twist, and it is a pressure-free way to build valuable pre-reading skills.
Class Description
Would you like to raise a child who loves to read for the joy of it rather than approach reading as a dull, necessary chore that isn't truly meaningful in life beyond academic expectations? Phonemic awareness, or the ability to hear individual sounds within a complete word, is an important part of language development and can increase a child's success in decoding simple text at the early stages of reading. Successful first steps are key in building confidence when learning anything, aren't they? This simple game can be played anywhere, needs no special materials and can be fun for just you and your 2-6 year-old, or for everyone in the room! It's an old favorite with a twist, and with pointers I provide on how to encourage rather than inhibit your child's potential, it can be a wonderful, pressure-free way to build valuable pre-reading skills.
Your Instructor
I have guided Montessori communities for over twenty years, on two continents, supporting children aged between 2 and 6 years and also the parents and caregivers who surroumnd them in their lives outside school. Learning is a three-way opportunity; if we are careful to observe the developmental needs and tendencies of our children, then we can respond best with carefully prepared words, actions and an educated mindset. Our children absorb much about life from watching us. We adults, through open communication can do our job better (whether parent or teacher) when we commit to working together. I commit to helping you learn more about your children in these tutorials, and I invite you to learn about tools and technoques I have practiced and refined over time, to enable childen learn more successfully.
