As a Montessori parent, my goal is to support my children's developmental needs here at home. While my children attend Montessori schools, so the bulk of their exposure to traditional Montessori materials is at school, I try to support that learning here at home in Montessori friendly ways. Generally, that means in ways that connect their interests to the things that they are interested in learning. Ideally, in the preschool years, I want to keep that learning concrete, make sure there is some control of error, and that it has some movement/sensorial component. Games are often a fun way to hook my kids in repeating skills that they are learning at school. Often when it comes to learning games, people think about math games. But, you can also play simple literacy games to practice sounds and reading words. Even in a Montessori classroom, games are used in many different content areas to get preschoolers interested in and coming back to work. A Fun Montessori Friendly Literacy Game
