👋🏻 Hi everyone! Thanks for all who were able to watch the premiere with me! I sincerely appreciate all of your support! 💕 Just a little add-on to the content in this video... if your child answers incorrectly during the three period lesson, your general tactic will be to stop the lesson and return to the previous period. Most important is to remember to go slow and provide your child with plenty of time for repetition and gradual mastery. Do not rush them. You will not typically go through an entire three period lesson the first several times that you do it; you will only focus on the first and/or second periods, depending on how quickly your child seems to be learning the sounds. If they seem to be answering incorrectly very often, that’s a clear sign that you are moving too quickly.

Thanks for your good ideas !!
Please a video for hyperactive 5 years boy..how to learn them all keys topics and manners for schools ...😥
We are too much worried about him..
Thanks again
If there are no Montessori School near you and you teach them this way at 3, will they learn the names in time for school? So they aren't "behind"
Yes, from what I gather, they tend to pick up the names pretty quickly once they’ve learned the sounds!
Thank you for this great information! When you talk about mastery, do you mean primarily of the sounds? Should I wait to move on to other letters until my toddler is mastered the tracing as well?
I'm alot of montessori schools they start with lowercase cursive letters first
I was in a Montessori learning environment until I started kindergarten, and I vividly remember how much I loved sandpaper letters and numbers. We used to put a piece of paper over the letters and rub over them with a crayon to make the letters transfer onto the paper. I still don't know if that was something our teachers came up with, or if one of my classmates created that activity
I'm starting with sound games with my oldest before I introduce letter symbols. Your girl is really getting it! Loved seeing your lesson in action.
Great job! Something to add is (not that you did this) many people schwa or add the /uh/ sound to the phonemes, or incorrectly pronounce vowels. As adults who have been reading for years/not decoding sound by sound, you forget or potentially never knew the isolated sounds. Wilson language videos on CZcams have pretty good demonstrations of the sounds, I’d recommend every single person double check their sound skills! lol
Yes!!! I totally forgot to mention this!! Thank you for adding this comment! 🥰
I love this! I had children who, in Continuous Provision time, put paper over the letters to do rubbings of them. They were semi successful depending on what they used. I was just happy they used them in their free time as well as in Literacy class haha In our ESL environment, we used jolly phonics phases to order the teaching of the sounds instead of the alphabet to enable them to start blending sounds. But these children were atleast 4-5yrs old. I adore your montessori series and love to see how you adapt it to your preferences. I look forward to the next video! Thank you always, Ashley ♥
Congratulations on all your success! We did Montessori for our son as well. He’s in traditional school now and thriving. You’re setting your girls up for success 👍🤗
I went on CZcams to find a Montessori language activity for my toddler who just turned 4 and this was playing "live". So perfect. I'm doing this tomorrow. Thank you!
Currently working backwards since my son had known his alphabet since before we learned/adapted Montessori. He’s 20 months and knows every letter it’s definitely a challenge for us now. Thanks for the video!
So much helpful information and guidance. You're right - kids are intuitive, and tapping into that natural environment makes so much sense.Thanks, Ashley!
This is perfect. I work at a Montessori school as an assistant and this is how I teach my students 💜
Great video!! We make glitter glue letters on card stock. Gemma loves letters and I love the idea of focusing on lower case letters and letter sounds
Ezra has organically learned numbers which I love all by himself. I can't wait for this next stage. You explain everything so well, in primary schools here in the UK they only learn in Phonics, I thought that was standard every where now! Great video, Ashley!
I wish it was like this in every school here, how awesome! The US education systems needs to get on board with that!
It is not a trend in India but my school did it. I remember when my teacher was introducing the letter F, she asked us what it is, a child from my class said the name, my teacher said no, it is ( sound ) and after that we never learned the letter name, we caught it by ourselves. Now after watching this, I know why
Loving your videos all the way from South Africa!!!
Rewatching, now that my 22 month old is interested. THANKS for being so thorough. We are going to learn A-apple and P-pumpkin to see if he is really interested.
I love your videos! My 2 year old daughter has recently been really interested in numbers and counting. I didn't know if you were planning on doing a video on the Montessori approach to introducing numbers but if you are I would love to see it!
Once Kylie becomes interested in numbers, I will! :)
She’s soooo adorable! Thanks 🙏🏼 your videos are the best.
Brilliant advice! As always 😊
I just ordered sandpaper letters and found you while searching for a tutorial on how to use them. This was so helpful, thank you!
A couple questions (sorry if this has been answered):
1) When you introduce the letters do you say the name of the letter or just the sound? “This is an M, it says mmm” or simply “This is an mmm”?
2) Do you do each of the 3 periods in one sitting or do you work on period 1 each day until they’ve mastered it and then add period 2, etc. Hope this makes sense...
Thank you again for sharing!
My daughter is only 6 weeks old and I’m learning all this early so when she’s ready I know what to do. These videos are so useful
Thank you so much for this video. I cannot wait to start working with my son.
Nice! Please make more videos like this for other activities such as the word picture cards. 😊
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
There is so much pressure in my mom group. I have a 15 month old who just loves to run around and "discover" things to take them apart. I dont do "class" or flashcards with her yet but I read to her a lot and we play all day. She throws away her own trash, shes funny as hell and she likes things neat and orderly lol. But the kids in the group can already site letters, colours and numbers and they are around 18 months old. Their moms do flashcards and "class". I feel like I am not doing enough "class" but I also feel like she is doing just fine. It gives me anxiety because I am doubting myself
DO NOT. Young kids learn through play! You are doing exactly what you should be! I’m pretty sure there’s research I’ve seen that shows that kids who wait to learn their numbers and letters and whatever until they get to school are no further behind than their peers who came to school already knowing them... they pick it up quickly anyway and end up being at the same pace as all the others. Play is the BEST for her brain development right now, and if Kylie weren’t actually interested in learning letters, I wouldn’t be doing them either! 🥰
FYI there is NO evidence that training your kids by rote memory gets a child “ahead” of their peers once grade school starts.
this video is really helpful! actually your most videos are 😊 my first language is Korean and my daughter is interested in alphabets these days (my husband speaks English) I’ve been introduce her alphabets the way we named😢 I will try this way today !
So cool! Love your channel!
Great job, your videos are so useful, thanks.
Hi Ashley, thanks for the inspiring video. I can see you were teaching your daughter print letters. I'm just wondering when it is the best time to present the cursive letters? I'd really appreciate your opinion. Thanks.
Can you make a series of videos using your toddler doing tasks to teach kids that are visual learners who may have special needs.
Hi, thanks a lot for your video. It's very helpful. I would like some advice about using the sand letters in a bilingual environment. We are applying the OPOL apprach (Spanish and English) and I wonder whether I should use different colors or combinations for each language. Thank you again.
This was an excellent tutorial, thank you!
thanks I have a inhome childcare program and would love to add this to my program
Recently I am looking to buy this sandpaper after seeing your vlog. Found Cursive and Print letter have different pro and cons. Any thoughts behind to share that pick print versus cursive for Kylie?
thank you for posting this!! it actually provided so much guidance to me on how to teach this to my toddler whose also very interested in numbers and letters! will be trying the 3 period method - you simplified the whole process for me.. looking forward to more videos!
Hi there, thank you for the wonderful videos. I'm just starting to homeschool my almost 4 year old and I stubbled upon your videos. I have been really loving them and wish I had implemented Montessori earlier. My question is, is my daughter to old for this exercise? Also she doesn't show any interest in learning her ABC's and will say to us it's not time to learn or walk away and shut down. How is the best way to deal with this?
Since they're learning phonics first instead of letter names, are other sounds also included? like oo = ooooo ?
I suppose if i wanted to i could make diphthongs/letter combos a different color and introduce them later
HI! This video has been helpful, but when do you actually tell them the actual letter sound? Like after the child finishes the 3 periods steps.
Thank you for another wonderful video. My daughter is 3 and goes to preschool three days a week. She can spot letters in her name but isn’t interested in letters at all. They are learning them at school but when I try to talk to her about them or practice she just has no focus. Do you think I should get some sandpaper letters to try and help her or just wait for her to be ready? I worry that others in her class will know the letters and she won’t. Thank you
Hello ! What would you suggest is the right age to start introducing these letters to children? I have a 18 month old. Thank you so much! Your videos are great 👍
In my native language, we usually read in typed ver of letters and write in cursive. They are pretty different from each other. As I understood sandpaper letters are an intro to reading and pre-writing (since they are tracing them) activity. Is it better to first introduce "reading letters" and then cursive or introduce both?
Note: in my language, you can start reading once you learn letters (we don't usually learn their names, I mean they are very close to sounds and no one uses them). Not as complex as in English, you only need to learn how to blend them and you are reading. No special phonics rules or sight words. Thank you!
how long do u stay in each period ? for period 1, would you constantly go through the same 4 letters multiple times in a row?
Hi. I’m trying to incorporate more Montessori with my younger learner who is left handed. I want to try the sandpaper letters with him. When I demonstrate the tracing, should I do it right handed because that’s natural to me, or should I do it left handed because of his obvious dominance in that hand? I’ve already struggled a bit in this department when we tried a veggie cutting activity. He didn’t want to do it with his right hand, and I was a bit nervous to try helping him slice with my left hand. Obviously, tracing is a much simpler task! But I would love to hear thoughts on how to best demonstrate for my left handed learner when I don’t have much confidence in my poor left handed abilities.
This is amazing 👏
Thank you so much 😍💕
I started this method but im having a hard time finding how to introduce letter names in the montessori way. How and when should we introduce
I was wondering if you have a video about math activities we can do with our toddlers at home? Things that might prep them for math?
That one is in the works ☺️
Great video! Thank you. You've given me massive encouragement.♥ Watching from Zimbabwe
We are not doing the Montessori way, but my son is having some trouble with the sounds of some letters. Do you think I should try this method with him? He is 7 and has some learning disabilities. I know he's older than most, but I think once he gets started, he will take off like lightning!
When beginning to introduce ’objects,’ how many objects would you show at a time? So with the letter ‘p’ how many object with that beginner letter would you show?
I have been looking for a bookcase and a shelf unit like the one you have, can you share where you purchased them?
Ty for this video! I was undecided about what to teach first, also what is the dog book behind you? it' s blurry when u r recording so i can't tell, my baby loves dogs
Hey, I love your channel! I'm learning Montessori principles for my 9 months old. But I also have a 5 yo who just started kindergarten. Can I implement the sand paper letters for him along with the traditional alphabet learning they teach him at school?
Sure!
Hello Ashley! My 3 years old has started to show interest in the alphabet but I began teaching her in the wrong way, 'cause I've been working in the letter's name instead of the phonetic sounds. What should I do in order to not confuse her? I love Montessori method but I'm still learning about it.
Brilliant!!!!!!!!! I love your channel and this was an amazing video! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for your videos , I am watching all of them and they are really helpful , I have a question regarding the sandpaper letters ,I want to know why did you choose the print letters or in Montessori they encourage to start with the cursive ones ??
I don’t write it cursive really even though I can, and I wanted to be able to model whatever she is learning.
Hi I am looking for a video when you first used the sandletters. When you asked Kylie where is the sound letter card. Then she says it is next to you knees. Something Like that. Can you please guide me which video it was?
awesome great n good work Hats off to you!!
Hi my daughter is just 3 years old so from n how I start her study well she can sing ABC song as well
Hi, love the new video and we will definitely try it when our little girl is ready~
And I have a question again~ Seems like your husband is Asian-American. Do you guys teach your babies different languages? I am Chinese, my husband is America, and we are living in Korea. Now Our 2 year old is going to Korean daycare, and she is handling 3 languages around at the same time. So I always curious how to teach her different languages~
Love you guys and have a good day~
My husband is Taiwanese, and he speaks Mandarin, but only to his parents. He doesn’t feel comfortable enough with his fluency to teach the girls. So just English here!
I see~ Thanks for the response~ Looking forward to watching your next video~ Even I just watched the last one yesterday you posted~ 🥰😂😂😍
If we start with cursive letters then after that do we need to show printed letters too and how to go with the worksheets printed or cursive??
Hi, growing up we were not taught phonics but I want to teach my daughter this. my question is where can I find how to say these sounds of letters
Im starting with my almost 3 year old daughter. Ive seen some that are made out of pipecleanera over cardboard.
Nice! I made them with glitter glue on laminated paper.
Hi can you please post the link for the sandpaper letters? Thanks x
Hi Ashley
Is it fine to give them the alphabets randomly ?
Hi, Amazing video. Quick check please. My son is going to be 4 yrs by this June. Whenever I call him to study the alphabets he runs away. He is not showing interest. During this lock down no nurseries too. How do I teach phonics now, please advise
Thank you
Anitha
Thank you!!
Hi! Great video.. just wondering, how does it work for letters that could have two phonetics sounds.. like "C" for cat and cinnamon... you simply go for the most common?
Yes, and once they’ve totally mastered the most common, you teach the less common sounds.
What is the link for the sandpaper letters you used? Also, is there a link to teach the correct phonic pronunciation? My southern accent may hinder my little one’s understanding of the phonics and correct pronunciation.
Im stuck with knowing what to do once they have traced the sandpaper letters and know their sounds. My son just started with the first grouping and knows the letter sounds. Do I move on to the next set or do I need to make sure he understands/connects letter sounds to words. For example a= apple, S= Sun etc.
Omg i have twins boy and girl my son knows his numbers to 10 and all abc's and their sounds but my daughter doesn't even talk much but she tries. They will be 3 in oct.
These videos are amazing! I am trying to introduce more Montessori themes at home and am finding your videos so useful! I love these videos where you explain specific activities as it gives me ideas for home. I’ve already bought some little bug toys after watching one of your other videos.
Question: what do you say when the child gets it correct and what do you say when they get it wrong? What do you do if they aren’t interested at all?
Also any tips on kids that move between activities really quickly and don’t really stick to something for any length of time? Or is it best just to go with the flow and do a million things in day?
Thanks a million xxx
If they get it right, keep it simple: “Yes, that’s ssss.” And there’s a whole article in my pinned comment about how to handle incorrect responses. 👍🏻
As for your other questions... always follow the child! Don’t force it. If they’re not interested, then so be it. They might be at a later time, at which point you can reintroduce it.
Such a great video😍 Are you a stay at home mom or do you work outside the home? I know making these videos counts as a job! You do such a great job and your one Awesome Mom!
Jessalee Fiegen I’m currently a stay at home mom, although I am a certified teacher with plans to return to work eventually! And yes, this CZcams thing has turned into a full-on work at home job! Thank you so much for always watching and commenting, your support is what makes this so fun for me to do!
Where can I get an affordable set of tiny figurines to use while teaching sounds? Such as a tiny mop for “m”
What letters are the most common to introduce for the first time ??
Do you have Montessori training? No judgement, just wondering. I’m looking into going for my primary training for teaching. Love the philosophy :)
I am entirely self-taught at the moment, although I am a certified public school teacher so I do have some child development and education background that is still relevant. When I return to work, my plan is to go back to get my Montessori certification for Assistants to Infancy (0-3) so I can teach in a Montessori nido! :)
Hapa Family teaching in a nido sounds incredible! I taught “ traditional” ECE for ten years and I could not stand all the plastic toys and bins. It wasn’t until I started as a Montessori assistant that I saw the difference! Best of luck to you and your channel is great!
Hi, Is it correct to start with sandpaper letters cursive as it the methodology being followed in my child's school. Kindly Advise.
Hi, im just wondering how old do you introduce this to your child?
Your daughter is very bright. Are you Montessori trained?
How do I know what age to start?
Not sure if it’s covered in another video but is it the same method with numbers?
I haven’t done a video on it yet, I’m waiting until Kylie is actually interested in numbers… But yes, the number symbols are taught in a similar fashion. There are sandpaper numbers.
Thank you!
at what age can you start?
No video today 😔 hope you nd your family are okay 💜
Sweet of you! Video is just posted later than normal because we are on vacation! 🥰
What should I do if I started teaching the name of the letters? Do I now start asking for the sounds? I have a 3.5 year old who can sight half of the alphabet. I don’t want to confuse him but I think what you said makes a lot more sense of why would would teach sounds first
This is a great read published by AMI for learning how to introduce writing and reading, including instructions on how to play the sound games: www.montessori-namta.org/Print-Publications/Back-Issues-of-The-NAMTA-Journal-Quarterly/293-A-Path-for-the-Exploration-of-Any-Language-Leading-to-Writing-and-Reading
I summarize/demo some of the basic parts of this article here: czcams.com/video/5KiKfYda7tU/video.html The sound games usually start around age 2.5 and symbols of the alphabet are typically introduced around 3.5 or 4. Hope this helps!
I don’t see why you couldn’t abandon what you’ve been doing, and instead start focusing entirely on sounds. As long as you stick with one approach, and don’t go continually back-and-forth, then it won’t be confusing. Once he’s mastered the sounds, then you can go back to teaching the names of letters again, and there’s a good chance he’ll pick them up pretty quickly at that point.
I love your videos and I dont have kids
Are you taking her to a preschool
Yes, a nearby Montessori school. :)
R u Montessori certified?
Not yet, just self-taught at the moment. 🥰 I’m actually a public school teacher, though, and once both of my girls are in school full-time, I am planning to go back to get my Montessori certification so that I can teach in a Montessori school instead. 👍🏻
