📚 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Be-verbs are one of the trickiest grammar concepts because the rules seem arbitrary—why is it "I am" but "you are"? The only way to internalize this is through massive repetition. These 70 cards provide exactly that: enough practice that the correct form starts to sound right automatically.
