Does your child’s Montessori school use cursive letters? This Montessori-style Cursive ABC book can support their learning at home!
Good morning!
I have some exciting news today. We’ve just released a cursive edition of our Montessori abc book.
Did you know that many Montessori schools introduce cursive letters before print?
Why?
For so many reasons. From a practical standpoint, learning cursive gets rid of many of the frustrations that come with early writing, such as mixing up “b,” “d,” “p,” and “q”.
Like many Montessori lessons though, the indirect lessons of cursive go far beyond learning to write in a certain style. This article beautifully explains the many benefits that come with learning cursive.
This post also lists some excellent resources for supporting your child in learning cursive.
If your child attends a Montessori school, make sure to inquire if the school begins with cursive or print letters. If your child is learning cursive in school, this Montessori-style Cursive ABC book is a great way to support your child’s experience at home!
It uses real, photographic images and a single letter per page. The goal of a single letter per page is to help the child focus and hone in on each specific letter.
As with the print version, our cursive Montessori alphabet book uses the phonetic letter sounds for each letter. Learning the phonetic letter sounds supports learning to read in a way that learning the letter names simply does not.
You can find more details on the reasoning behind teaching the phonetic alphabet, as well as resources to support this learning at home, here.
If you do purchase for your home or classroom, a review on Amazon is so appreciated. It really helps others find the book!
Thank you!
