This material provides the Child with an in-depth understanding of the use of digraph combinations with alternative spellings. Constant repetition of the new sounds through images, words, word building, word lists, booklets, and sentences, allows the Child to grasp the new sounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a bonus, we give you an acrylic stand to hold 5 folders, for free!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTimber Cabinet not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Montessori Green Reading Series:\u003cbr\u003eThe third, and final step in the Montessori phonetic reading range, continues the work of the pink \u0026amp; blue reading series. The green series provides the Child with an in-depth understanding of words, using digraph (phonogram) combinations. The Child must learn to recognise the digraph first, and then to sound it out correctly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Child learns through repetition. This system is designed on the following format; for each of the individual digraphs found in 9 families; and 5 extra groups, follow these steps:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWork through each Digraph before moving onto the next one:\u003cbr\u003estart with the small, square box\u003cbr\u003ematch the word to the image, found in the small box\u003cbr\u003eusing the 2 different colour alphabets (Printed Alphabets, sold separately), the Child builds the word, as seen in the image\u003cbr\u003emove onto the green word list in the green envelope. These are new words, but still repeat the same digraph\u003cbr\u003enext, work through the booklet of words\u003cbr\u003efinally, the complex sentence uses words reflecting the digraph being studied. The Child reads with ease now\u003cbr\u003eonce all digraphs of the 1st family are completed, the Child reviews their work using the summary word list\u003cbr\u003eRepetition helps the Child to read smoothly, with understanding:\u003cbr\u003eWorking through each set of digraphs, the Child absorbs a thorough understanding of the vowel, and consonant digraph combinations. Only through repetitive use of these vowel \/ consonant combinations, do they begin to absorb this knowledge, and instinctively grasp the sound that the digraphs make. By mastering digraphs, the direct objective is attained, and they learn to read a word smoothly, with understanding. Indirectly, children automatically learn to spell a word correctly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis material provides a total of 33 separate; totally individual; digraphs. Once the Child works through all 9 families, and 5 extra digraph combinations, they can advance onto the 30 lists of additional 180 words. Each of these additional words has a unique spelling, and do not form part of the digraph families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003eDIGRAPH. A term in ORTHOGRAPHY for two LETTERS that represent one sound, such as “th” in “this” and “sh” in “ashes”. If three letters together represent a single sound, they constitute a trigraph, such as “tch” in “catch” and “sch” in “schmaltz”. When letters form digraphs, they surrender their independent sound values so as to stand as a group for a single phoneme, usually because an alphabet has no letter to serve that purpose. – https:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003eContents of the Montessori Green Reading Series:\u003cbr\u003e33 digraph boxes, 42 envelopes, split into 9 families and 5 extras (with unique spelling), plus 1 envelope of additional words:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e33 digraph boxes, each box consists of;\u003cbr\u003e10 pictures (330 pictures)\u003cbr\u003e10 words labels (330 words)\u003cbr\u003e33 green A5 envelopes, containing:\u003cbr\u003e1 word list with 10 words (33 lists – 330 words)\u003cbr\u003e1 booklet with 6 words (33 booklets – 180 words)\u003cbr\u003e1 complex sentence (33 sentences – using 5 digraph words)\u003cbr\u003e9 transparent A6 envelopes, containing:\u003cbr\u003e1 summary card of the digraphs belonging to the family\u003cbr\u003ea summary list of 6 words for each digraph in that family (33 summary lists – 180 words)\u003cbr\u003eBONUS – 30 extra lists of 180 unique words, with unique spellings, not included in any of the families or extras\u003cbr\u003eBONUS – 1 acrylic stand that holds 5 folders is included – 21cm x 14cm x 8cm \/ (8″ x 5.5″ x 3″)\u003cbr\u003eThe acrylic stands are sold separately.

The true magic lies in the prepared adult, the prepared environment, and the respectful relationship between adult and child. When this relationship is built on trust, respect, and authentic love, the child feels safe and inspired to explore. As Dr. Maria Montessori explained, it is through this deep connection that learning is joyfully and naturally absorbed.
