🕎 The Montessori Approach to Flash Cards

In Montessori education, flash cards aren't used for drilling or speed practice. Instead, they serve as vocabulary and reference tools. These Hanukkah cards work best when you present them slowly, allowing your child to examine each image and repeat the word. The goal is rich language exposure, not memorization. After the initial introduction, leave the cards available for your child to revisit independently.

🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Use the three-period lesson to introduce unfamiliar words like sufganiyot or kippah. First, name it: "This is a kippah." Second, ask them to identify it: "Can you show me the kippah?" Third, check understanding: "What is this?" This classic Montessori approach builds vocabulary with confidence.
