🌍 Montessori Three-Period Lesson Integration
Nomenclature cards are a cornerstone of Montessori language and cultural education. The three-part system allows children to progress from recognition (matching images) to recall (identifying landmarks without labels) to mastery (reading and independently matching words). This format respects each child's learning pace and builds genuine understanding.
