Monday, January 18th, 2010In an effort to encourage independence in my daughters for their morning routines, I came up with a chart that I laminated and posted in the bathroom. This way, they are gently reminded of what needs to be done when they wake up in the morning.
Do you have other suggestions you’d like to share about how you [...]

Running With Scissors
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009“Careful, or you’ll poke your eye out!” How many times have we heard that expression as we’ve grown up? Frankly, I’ve never had any form of injury to my eyes, nor have my children.
People often wonder why I allow my young children to use sharp scissors and knives to work with. I might get a lot [...]

Pink Level: Sentence-Strip Tracing
Friday, September 26th, 2008Like with the other pink-level traceables, these are to be presented after a child has mastered the task (sentence strips in this case) and only if the child so-desires.
Download the file here.
Pink Level: Phrase Strips Tracing Activity
Friday, September 26th, 2008While working on the phrase strips with your child, these strips will help you to reinforce the new concepts learned in a colorful way. Cut out the strips and give them to your child one at a time as he is able to read the new phrase.

Pink Level: Word Lists Writing Practice
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Simply put, I’ve uploaded the pink level word lists formatted in a way that the child may trace over each word as he learns them. Once the child has finished with a specific word list, you may give him the corresponding one in this set as writing practice and to reinforce what has been learned.
Cut [...]
Pink Level: Sentence Strips
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008The final “installment” in the Montessori pink reading level is the sentence strips.
Once the child has mastered reading phrases, it’s time to move on to these simple sentences which act as a springboard for further reading.
The sentence strips are available here.
Pink Level: Phrase Strips
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Wth the phrase strips, your child can begin reading more than one word at a time without worrying about formatting. These ten strips will allow him to gain some confidence in putting the words together to make a meaningful idea.
Don’t push your child to read all the strips in the same day. One or two [...]
Pink Level: Sight Words
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Thee sight words give the child the necessities needed to start reading sentences and phrases. I personally don’t use them with my children or in my class; I would teach them the words as required while we were reading phrases and sentences.
You can use these many ways:
Flash cards: Show them to your child several times [...]
