Hello. I would like to know how to start with my child , what would be the correct order to follow with the teaching aids? Where should I beging and where should I move next in language area?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi Icha. We have a series of Language videos coming out over the next few weeks. Turn on your notifications. Every 2 weeks we will cover a new area of language. However, we also have short courses in Language to teach you step by step how to teach language to your child. Click this link and we can share the info with you sunshineteacherstraining.id/about-us/contact/

Hi there... perhaps you could watch this video about getting started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpyaf2aVibB1nNU Also our playlist Montessori at home has a lot of ideas when you are just starting out: kzbin.info/aero/PL3W5YxW5HCuM3wY5h5WV3CLpP4_Faz1m1 I think these will help you a lot!

[@sweetgattu]

I would like to know how to teach alphabets that is capital letters? In montessori do you teach small letters first and then capital letters?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Yes we do the lower case first and you can teach capitals the same way too

[@msrosego]

Does the child need to master the first three letter-sound that you have presented before introducing the following letter sounds?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

yes they do have to master it

[@pinkypremarajan9935]

How can we adopt this method in online teaching? What are the alternatives we can use to make language study through online enjoyable and effective?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

You can have interactive stories, puppet shows, language games, open ended conversations

[@user-yv5mv8lp2d]

What additional activities we can give the child after they mastered the letter sound ?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Here are a few additional activities you can try to further enhance their learning: Letter Formation Practice: Encourage your child to trace the letters on paper, helping them transition from feeling the letters to writing them. Word Building: Use movable alphabets or cut-out letters to form simple words. This bridges the gap between individual letter sounds and word formation. Sound Matching Games: Play games where your child matches objects or pictures with the same initial sounds as the Sandpaper letters. Storytelling with Letters: Create simple stories using the letters they’ve mastered. This adds a fun narrative element to learning! Letter Hunt: Have a 'letter hunt' where your child looks for objects around the house that start with specific sounds. Remember, each child's learning pace is unique, so it’s great to keep the activities fun and pressure-free. Your encouragement and enthusiasm are the best support they can have!

[@ambikapoudel5641]

Your voice nice ma'am

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thank you - that's very kind of you to say

[@kerryannwaithe9245]

why do you place your left hand at the corner of the tile? Is it necessary and if so how does it work for left handed children?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Children will do what is comfortable for them and what comes naturally to their body. We hold it this way to keep it steady

[@VirtualMontessori]

The sandpaper letter should actually be centred to accommodate left handed children. If you make your own Center them meaning leave space on both the left and the right side of the letter.

[@pilarcintron3925]

I recently observed a Children's House classroom and I noticed that the sandpaper letters were in script, and not print like the letters you are using. Why are the letters in script used ?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thank you for your observation regarding the use of cursive sandpaper letters in the Children's House classroom. In many Montessori settings, cursive is introduced before print for several reasons. Firstly, cursive writing has a natural flow, which is often easier for young children to learn as the continuous motion is more aligned with their natural movement patterns. Secondly, cursive letters are more distinct from one another compared to print, reducing the likelihood of confusion between similar-looking letters (like 'b' and 'd'). Finally, writing in cursive aids in developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Each Montessori environment might choose differently based on their educational philosophy, resources, and student needs. The use of print letters, as in the case of the classroom you mentioned, may be influenced by these factors. It's a great example of how Montessori education can be adapted while still adhering to its core principles of following the child and facilitating natural learning processes. If you have further questions or thoughts, I'd be delighted to discuss them!

[@hohoclaire]

How would you respond to a child who already know letter names at this stage? Would you simply say yes this is letter S and it says "S"? My son learned the alphabet by himself and it seems really confusing to.him when I started teaching him letter sound.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Great question! Many children learn the names of the letters before understanding their sounds, especially since songs like the 'Alphabet Song' are popular and catchy. If your son already knows the letter names, that's fantastic! When introducing the phonetic sound using the sandpaper letters, it's essential to emphasize the sound in a way that doesn't negate his prior knowledge. You can say something like, 'Yes, you're right! This is the letter S, and it makes the /s/ sound, like in "snake".' By connecting the known (letter name) with the new information (letter sound) in a familiar context, it can create a smoother transition. Over time, with consistent exposure, children typically grasp the idea that letters have both names and sounds. And remember, every child's learning journey is unique, so it's okay to adjust your approach based on what works best for your son. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your experience

[@msrosego]

Is it okay to use the cursive letters? Or do you prefer to use the non-cursive?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

You may use cursive.... anything is fine :)

[@insinfull3745]

I'm just starting this. I found one set that was embossed.i.e. the letters were sandpaper but raised. While another set was like what you have. Does it matter if they are raised or not?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

It won't really matter... Whichever you choose should give the same result

[@umaibasameer]

What if two children need one of the materials and not ready to work together?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

This is a common scenario in Montessori classrooms and offers a valuable learning opportunity for the children. When two children want the same material and aren't ready to collaborate, it's important to guide them towards developing skills like patience, sharing, and turn-taking. Firstly, acknowledge each child’s interest in the material. Explain that they both will have a chance to use it, but they need to take turns. You can introduce a system where each child knows when it will be their turn, perhaps using a timer or a visual cue. This helps set clear expectations and reduces conflict. In the meantime, encourage the child who is waiting to engage in another activity. This not only keeps them productively occupied but also teaches them to manage waiting times positively. It's also a great opportunity to introduce lessons on cooperation and respect for others. Discuss with them why it's important to share and wait for their turn, and how it makes the classroom a more enjoyable place for everyone. Remember, the goal is not just to solve the immediate issue but to help the children develop social skills and understanding that will benefit them throughout their lives

[@sandytaylor6443]

When you invite a child to do an activity and they say they don't want to do it how do you handle that situation? We have sand trays and salt trays for our children to draw the letters once they have been shown the formation and they love using them.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

We do not force them. We present when they are ready

[@reviewedbylupita3748]

What if we present it on a group presentation, will the sandpaper letter face us or the child?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

We typically do not advise presenting the sandpaper letter activity in a group setting where the sandpaper letter faces the child. This activity is best suited for one-on-one or small group interactions to ensure that each child can fully engage with and benefit from the tactile experience of tracing the letters. Individualized attention allows us to cater to each child's unique pace and needs, promoting a more effective learning experience."

[@melanieshaw7577]

I am so happy I found your channel. I have a couple of questions - How would you complete the 3 period lesson with a student who is non-speaking? Also, how could you use these teaching methods in a traditional public school? Would the 3 period lesson work in a small group instead of 1:1?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi... I guess with a non-speaking child it would be a lot of pointing and instruction. I have never tried myself. The 3PL is meant to be one on one to ensure they have learned it.

[@ccc919]

Does the child sit next to you or across from you?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

In a Montessori setting when presenting sandpaper letters, it's best for the child to sit next to you. This way, they can closely observe the movements and directions of your hand as you trace the letters, which is crucial for their tactile and visual memory. Sitting beside each other also facilitates a better connection and interaction between you and the child, making it easier for you to guide them if necessary. Remember to always present the letters from the child's perspective, ensuring that they see the letters as they would when tracing and writing themselves. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

The control of error is the 45 spindles - if they have more than 9 in the last box then they know they have made a mistake. If they have less than 9 in theee last box they also know they have made a mistake.

[@vanithasizzle3869]

I read that we should start with cursive letters sand paper. I have started that but in the story books we read it’s all print/small letters so it’s confusing for my son. So should we use cursive or print letters in sand paper Mam?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi Vanitha - everyone has their own ideas about cursive and print and which to start with. One of the reasons people write in cursive script is because it's faster than printing each letter. Because the cursive letters are connected, you lift your pen less frequently, which cuts down on time spent forming the letters. Print (manuscript) handwriting is what most schools and preschools in the US start with for letter formation and recognition. People generally seem to believe that writing cursive is easier. At the. end of the day, it is a personal choice and I think you raise a great point. In fact, I think I am going to make a video on this topic for the future. Thank you for planting this seed :)

[@harmoniousbeing127]

Hi do we have to start with print or cursive??

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi! Every school is different - some start with cursive and some with print - so its totally up to you :)

[@maryannchukwunuruolum9140]

What's the significance of using the sand paper in teaching ?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Montessori sandpaper is a tactile learning material used in the Montessori method to teach children the basics of writing and reading. Its significance lies in providing a sensory experience for children, helping them to develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, and remember the shapes and sounds of letters. The physical act of tracing the letters also helps children develop their writing skills
