Really helpful ma'am. Thank you so so much!

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zhanarn7083]

Thank you for the video!

My pleasure!

Thank you for the video

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thanks for watching!

[@guacimaragarcia9753]

The video is clear but I have a question. Are the boxes classified by vowels? I find confusing that we show the blends all together. Is there any specific order?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thank you so much for watching our video on the Montessori Blue Series and for your thoughtful question. I'm glad to hear that the video was clear for you, and I'm here to help clarify your query about the classification of the boxes. In the Montessori Blue Series, the boxes are typically organized to focus on consonant blends and digraphs. While they are not classified strictly by vowels, the organization aims to gradually introduce more complex phonetic patterns following the simpler phonetic structures of the Pink Series. It's understandable that seeing all the blends together might seem a bit confusing at first. The idea is to provide a variety of examples so children can explore and recognize patterns in words. However, there isn't a strict order that you must follow. You can adapt the sequence to suit the learning pace and interests of each child. Some educators prefer to introduce blends that are more commonly found in words first, while others might follow a different approach. Remember, the key in Montessori is to observe the child and adjust the materials to meet their individual learning needs. If you find that a particular order works better for your students or child, feel free to customize the sequence accordingly. I hope this helps clear up your question! If you have any more queries or need further explanation, please don't hesitate to ask. Your engagement and desire to understand more deeply are exactly what drive us to create these resources.

Good job mam

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thanks a lot :)

[@wii3604]

It's a very good video! But could you please demonstrate how to blend words? Thanks!

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Sure thing!

[@jaisongonzalez7779]

quick question - I think you mentioned that digraphs / v+r / v+y / v+w / vv / v_v are not phonetics, but if we have sky, is that a green and blue? clay for example could it be used for both as well? or only green because of ay but it could also be blue because of the cl_… or draw for example….

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Any of the exceptions from the Pink and Blue series can. be taught. in the Green series one at a time. For example you choose the vowel + y of OY and you would teach them: boy toy alloy employ and so on I hope this helps

[@jaisongonzalez7779]

thanks ;)

[@nwaruadaezephilips6408]

Good morning. I'm not quite sure if tt in button can be called a blend since the two letters make one sound. The same goes for co as in black. A blend means going frm one sound to another.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

According to our training a blend will be a combined group of letters making a sound. But thanks for your feedback.

[@phoebekuei1836]

Is there a place to buy the pink, blue, and green series flash cards?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

We have a range of printable materials. You can contact Febri via Wha's App on [phone] and she will be happy to help you with any questions you have. You will be able to purchase the materials from us.

[@waedhitene6000]

What is the difference between phonteic and nonphonetic words? Should I teach just the phonetic words?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

In a Montessori classroom we teach only phonetic words till around the age of 5. Phonetic words are made up with sounds that match the phonics song,

[@wilmasediego5660]

Please put more sounds because her voice is very soft, thank you.

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thanks for your feedback. We will improve he quality

[@bluerose9454]

Hi can U please explain to me how the word bucket is phonetic with ck sound

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Hi there... the c and k make the same sound. So it is phonetic.

[@bluerose9454]

@@SunshineTeachersTraining thank you

[@salinaazhoth1035]

But actually c and k is a diagraph....

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

[@amnamalik2222]

Nice

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thanks for watching

[@salinaazhoth1035]

Isn,'t 'ck' ia a diagraph, but duck, lick all taught in blue series.... Why?

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Thank you for your question regarding the inclusion of 'ck' in the Montessori Blue Series. 'ck' is a phonetic element. In Montessori education, the Blue Series is designed to introduce more complex phonetic patterns beyond the simple three-letter phonetic words found in the Pink Series. While 'ck' might seem like a straightforward phonetic combination, it's included in the Blue Series because it represents a slightly more advanced concept of consonant digraphs, where two letters come together to produce a single sound. This inclusion is part of a gradual progression in phonetic learning, helping children to develop a deeper understanding of how different letter combinations can alter sounds in words. I hope this explanation clarifies your query. Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further clarification!

[@giftyopoku1134]

Please can you explain what blue series are

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

The Blue Series is made up of longer phonetic words that have consonant blends

[@aisharafiquerafique3651]

Please tell me the difference between phonemes and grapheme in easiest way

[@SunshineTeachersTraining]

Sure! Graphemes and phonemes are terms used in linguistics to talk about the written and spoken parts of language. A grapheme is a written or printed symbol that represents a single sound or a group of related sounds. It's like the letters of the alphabet that we use to write words. For example, the word "cat" has three graphemes: 'c', 'a', and 't'. A phoneme, on the other hand, is a single distinct sound in spoken language. It's the smallest unit of sound that can change the meaning of a word. For instance, if you change the first phoneme in "cat" from 'c' to 'b', you get the word "bat". In English, the letter 'c' represents the phoneme /k/ in "cat" and the phoneme /s/ in "city". In simple terms, graphemes are the letters and symbols we use to write words, while phonemes are the individual sounds that make up spoken words.
