📚 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Many Montessori schools introduce cursive early (ages 4–5) because the flowing connections actually make letter formation easier for young hands than print's constant stopping and starting. These cards bridge phonics knowledge into cursive literacy—children already know /b/ says "bear," now they're learning what cursive 'b' looks like.
