Montessori at Home: objects and words
This work invite children to match the CVC word label and the object/picture. The child will familiar with the names of these items because they have seen them in their sound pouches and played the “I spy” game with these objects. Before starting this work you can invite the child to name each object, you can name the objects as well and put emphasis on the initial sound. Remember we are not trying to trick the child, we are trying give them support so they will be confident and able to read independently in due time. This work can be done with pictures or objects, in may be easier to obtain pictures than it is objects. Store the material in a basket or envelope so child can work independently after the initial presentation (or more presentations if needed).
Purpose: Match label with correct picture or object.
Materials: Use pictures/objects from your sound pouches that are CVC words.
In a basket, box or bag place a few objects and name labels for each of them
Organize vowel sound, for instance in one box have /a/ words such as cat, map, rat.
In another box have /i/ words such as fin, pig, wig.
Extension
Present different boxes on other days for the different vowel sounds.
Place pictures from 2 vowel sounds together and invite child to read.
Write the words with the moveable alphabet.
