🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Flash cards work best as reference tools rather than drills. After introducing a few signs at home, take the corresponding cards on a neighborhood walk. When your child spots a real sign, let them match it to their card. This bridges abstract learning to concrete experience—the foundation of practical life education.
