🏠 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Household vocabulary is some of the most practical language work for young children—they use these words daily. When introducing these cards, always connect to the child's real environment: "This is a refrigerator. Let's go look at our refrigerator in the kitchen!" After identifying objects on cards, extend the lesson by asking function questions: "What do we keep in the refrigerator?" or "Why do we need a lamp?" This builds not just vocabulary but understanding of purpose. For older children (4-6), introduce categories: "Which of these use electricity? Which are furniture we sit on?"
