These unique board books bring the popular Montessori pedagogy to trade book for
m for the first time. Using materials and methods common to Montessori classroom
s, these interactive board books immerse young children in an aesthetically rich
learning experience, while providing parents and caregivers with carefullycraft
ed language to encourage understanding.In Montessori classrooms, students learn
to write before they learn to read, so the process is driven by their own words
and thoughts before those of others. Letters are taught first as sounds (instead
of names), and alphabet tiles encourage children to trace each letter with thei
r fingers. This book honors that tradition by emulating the standard classroom m
aterial with touchable, traceable letters and beautiful colors that evoke the el
egant simplicity of the Montessori aesthetic.
