The Montessori classroom is rich in oral language opportunities, allowing the child to experience conversation, music, and stories. Children effortlessly associate sound to symbol while tracing sandpaper letters with their fingers. This fosters a natural progression to written expression and reading skills. There are several games we play that enhance sound awareness and language development, which makes the process enjoyable. Our students will learn Spanish the same way they learned English by listening and watching an adult. Our bilingual native Spanish speaker teacher will only talk in English for safety reasons.
