Three Period Lesson

Be precise, clear, slow enough sothe child can listen and understand.

For the correct pronunciation, the child gains the information indirectly, by observing and trying on himself.

The vocabulary should be challenging and shouldbe unknown to child.

1st step: Introduction (Naming): Point to the object and give the name.

If you are working with cards , then present the cards one by one, donot lay all down, it wouldbe an obstacle in learning.

No discussion, no explanation inthis stage,just give the name.

Isolate the difficulty: the new word.

In a different time, you can provide information from books, videos, go outside or experience the new word in different aspects.

2nd step: Association/ Recognition: Here, you pronounce, the child recognises.

"Please show me..."

" Please give me..."

" Please take the..."

If the child is so active, then include movement inthis stage.

You should not always use the same command.

You should include different activities.

This stage should be as long as possible.

If the child is done with the recognition, then you can pass into the next stage.

3rd stage: Recall. This stage is a kind of test.

This is the only stage that the child pronounces.

Do not be boring here, try to be creative.

For example, say close your eyes,and hide one object.Then ask for the missing object.

Another example, say close your eyes, then give an object on her hand and then, tellher "guess what it is".

Montessori Classification Cards and Montessori Sound Boxes

Classification Cards First, I decided on the topic, and since we have several kinds of nuts nowadays, I decided on that topic. I have chosen ten types of nut, though there are much more than this, I selected only the ones that we already have in our environment. Then, I searched for nut photographs with white background. Besides, elected photos according to their content, i.e. they should contain both with shell and broken view of the nuts. I saved each in the dimension of 10*7, 5 cm, wrote labels of 1*10 cm, and doubled each because I will need them in making both mute cards and control cards. I printed them colorful, and cut them. Then, stick them on a cardboard to make them hard. All mute cards (with no labels) are piled on the floor and are inverted. The adult takes the card on the top and asks for its name. If the child knows it the adult put it in one side, if she does not know puts it another side. This continues till all the cards are opened. Then, the adult takes almo...

Role and Nature of the Prepared Environment in Montessori Education

Role and Nature of the Prepared Environment Starting from birth, a child develops both psychically and physically. These two proceeds parallel in general, for instance the first physical event in a child’s life, birth, is the first step of becoming independent from his mother. This step is followed by crawling, supplementary food, walking and weaning. These are the natural milestones that an adult has almost no influence on them; they are already programmed in the child’s psyche. The role of parents or adults living with the child starts preparing a child-like environment starting from birth, for helping to handle the birth terror, for the comfort of the child, for the adaptation and for unfolding his character. One should take into account all dimensions of a human being, such as physical, psychological, mental and social, in preparing an environment. So, an environment is not a place in that the child just lives and grows up unintentionally, but it is a total surrounding of o...
