🍂 Montessori Sequence
These nomenclature cards follow the authentic Montessori Pink Series progression. Present them after children have worked with sound games, sandpaper letters, and the movable alphabet for simple word building. The 3-part card format provides control of error through the control cards, allowing children to work independently and build confidence through immediate visual feedback. This bridges the gap between sound awareness and independent reading.
🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Don't rush through all 62 words at once. Introduce 5-8 words from one vowel family, allowing mastery before moving to the next. Store completed sets in labeled envelopes so children can revisit familiar words while learning new ones. The repetition strengthens neural pathways and builds reading fluency without pressure.
