Language is introduced to children using touch and tactile-based Language activities. First, alphabets are presented through meaningful games and tracing letters, and then small phonetic words are introduced before progressing to complex words and sentences. Since writing is an expression of one’s own thoughts, children are taught to write first before reading to encourage self-expression and creativity. The Montessori Preschool/Casa curriculum also includes advanced grammar and sentence analysis for older children.
This Montessori activity recognizes that most children can spell out words long before they can write them. This activity helps the child to think of a word and write it with individual alphabets. It also helps them with their reading.
These are the words that this child made with the alphabets.
The child has composed a sentence (a story) using the alphabet, and she is attempting to write it. This activity enables a child to build sentences and encourages creativity and self-expression.

In a Montessori classroom, children are taught to write in cursive as it follows the child’s natural ability to scribbles in continuous circles. Cursive also makes it easier for children to understand letters, words, and sentences and to write with proper spacings.
A perfect example of cursive writing by a 5 year old child that debunks the popular myth that ‘printing is easier to learn as children often get confused with cursive’. Cursive in fact makes it easier for children to understand letters, words, and sentences and to write with proper spacings.
