Practical life activities assist to build a sense of being and belonging in the child, which is established via involvement in daily life with us.

Understanding, using, and enjoying language is a critical first step in literacy and the foundation for learning to read and write. 

In a Montessori classroom, children learn the phonetic sounds of the letters before they learn the alphabetical names. The teacher introduces the sounds with the Sandpaper  Letters. Only the lower-case forms of the letters are used since most words in books are printed with these letters. Pre-reading exercises are made more difficult if the child is first taught the upper-case letters and their alphabetical names.

Both English and Spanish have Latin roots. Studying Spanish broadens children's understanding of the English language and how different languages evolve, which can aid in the acquisition of English vocabulary. Acquiring language skills comes naturally and easily during early development. Prior to the age of six, a child's ability to pronounce unfamiliar, foreign sounds and absorb new grammar rules is greatly enhanced. Knowing Spanish will aid your child to understand and appreciate other cultures and Hispanic cultural contributions. Children who learn two languages perform better in terms of communication, memory retention, and multitasking, all of which are beneficial academically. As the child begins to translate from English to Spanish, they will develop natural language multitasking skills that will support them throughout school.
