🦕 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Dinosaur vocabulary naturally introduces children to complex multisyllabic words. When a four-year-old confidently says "Parasaurolophus," they're building phonological awareness and proving they can handle challenging vocabulary. Don't simplify dinosaur names to "duckbill" or "three-horn." Children who master "Tyrannosaurus Rex" develop confidence tackling difficult words in all subjects later.
