What do children read before they read books? Words! The phonetic reading cards free children to begin reading independently right from the start. These work just like the classic Montessori material the phonetic object box but with the benefit of a control which allows children to check their own work. Use the photo-only card as flash cards in vocabulary lessons. Later, when children are familiar with the sounds of the letters in our alphabet (not their names), show children how to read the separate word label, match it to the picture, and then check their own work with the labeled cards. Once the children are mastering basic phonetic reading (in Levels 1 and 2), they are ready to learn rules for common phonograms. Aside from the single phonogram in each word (printed in red to isolate the new concept), the rest of each word in Level 3 is completely phonetic. Level 3, Group 1 (Traditional Phonograms) includes 10 traditional phonogram that match the Montessori green sandpaper as follows: ai (paint), ar (yarn), ch (chip), ee (tree), er (fern), ie (pie), oa (boat), oo (book), or (corn), sh (ship), th (thorn). For each phonogram there is one packet with six examples/photos and 18 cards. 11 packets and 198 cards in the set plus a sample lesson plan for teacher/parent reference. Approx. card sizes are as follows: Word Cards (3 2/3 x 1 1/8), Photo Cards (3 2/3 x 3), and Control Cards (3 2/3 x 4 1/3). All photos clearly isolate their subject. All cards are laminated with a heavy 5 mil laminate, have rounded corners, and are packaged in sturdy reclosable bags for easy storage.
