Sprouting a Pinecone Materials
- Pinecone
- Small pot
- Soil
On your next walk search for a pinecone A pinecone is the conical or rounded woody
fruit of a pine tree with scales that open to release the seeds Pinecones can be found
not too far from conifer trees in a conifer dominated woodland Female pinecones have
structurally lsquolooserrsquo scales Male pinecones have structurally lsquotighterrsquo scales Search for
a female pinecone
Arrange the pinecone and soil in the pot so that most of the pinecone is sticking out
(see photo below) Water daily Drain excess water so as not to rot the pinecone
Sensorial- Scented Play Dough (Matching)
Materials
bull 2 cups all-purpose flour bull 34 cup salt bull 4 teaspoons cream of tartar bull 2 cups lukewarm water bull 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil (coconut oil works too) bull 4 different scents for your dough (examples include cinnamon vanilla coconut maple lemon rose
and eucalyptus)
Stir together the flour salt and cream of tartar in a large pot Next add the water and oil Cook over medium heat stirring constantly Continue stirring until the dough has thickened and begins to form into a ball Remove from heat and then place inside onto wax paper Allow to cool slightly and then knead until smooth Divide the dough into balls (4 for each scent) Add your scents and divide each of these into two You should now have 8 small playdough balls
Arrange the balls into two rows on the table top to bottom with one set next to the other Example below
Vanilla
Demonstrate matching the first set for your child Choose the ball on the bottom left smell and then pick up
the ball on the bottom right If they do not smell the same move on to the next ball on the right working your
way up When you find a match place them off to the side Allow your child to continue matching in this way
If they would like mix them up again for your child to match

I SpySound Game The Montessori I Spy language lesson starts at ages 3 and uphellip
The I Spy Game can be broken down into 3-parts depending on
your childrsquos strengths and abilities
Stage 1 Beginning Sound
- Lay out three different items that your child is familiar with
in front of them
- Go over the names of the items to make sure that your child
is properly naming them (example you may call it a Cat but
your child calls it a Kitten)
- Tell your child what sound each item starts with for
example cat starts with the C sound etc
- Next start the first round of the game ldquoI spy with my little
eye something that begins with the ldquoSrdquo sound
- Have the child pick out which object they believe starts with
the correct sound
- If the child guesses correctly move on to a new sound if
guesses wrong you can say ldquohmmmhellipthat was a good guess
but that object starts with the ldquoBrdquo sound letrsquos try againrdquo
- Keep playing until child can recognize the beginning sounds
- This can be done a few times a week in various settings
Stage 2 Ending Sound
Repeat the same steps as above except focusing on
the end of the sound
Stage 3 Middle Sound
The middle sound is generally harder to hear we usually focus
on the middle sound with children who are between 4-5 years
old Again this is done just like the beginning and last sound but with
a focus on the middle sound This is harder to hear and may take
your child some time to learn
BONUS LESSON
See if your child can hear all the sounds in the word This works
the best if the word is completely phonetic
Suggestions for I Spy objects
- Parts of a body
- Things in their room or environment (kitchen andor
bathroom)
- Things you or another person is wearing (clothing jewelry)
- Go for a walk or drive and play I Spy with everything around
you

∙Videos to understand cursive sandpaper letter sounds or language program
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=yd_Mjms4fvk
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds (shows an image of all the
sandpaper letters and how the sounds are pronounced)
∙26 cards-one card for every letter of the alphabet written in cursive Paper can be any
type of paper you have at home Although the best option is plain white paper using a pink
and blue marker Or you can use blue and pink paper and a black marker to write on these
The consonants are pink and the vowels (a e i o u) are blue Please reference the
following resource to help your write the cursive letters and how to pronounce the letters
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times
4 Every day repeat the sounds the child knows
5 Introduce or work on 3 sounds at a time with the sounds the child DOES
NOT KNOW
6 Practice the additional activities below to help the child memorize the
sounds
7 Once the child is confident with the tracing of the sound they can
practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard
Additional Activities to do with 3 sounds child doesnrsquot
know
a Lay the 3 letter sounds out on the table
1 Say ldquopoint to a (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
2 Say ldquopoint to m (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
3 Say ldquopoint to b (say the sound not the letter name) ldquo
b Do movement activities with them Examples- 1 Tell the
child ldquoTurn over a (say sound) etcrdquo
2 Tell the child ldquoPick up aaa pick up mmmm pick up b (say sounds when
you ask)rdquo
3 Tell the child ldquoHand mehellip
4 Bring ldquoardquo to someone in the house and tell himher the sound
5 Do the knock-knock gamehellipTurn all the letters over so you canrsquot see
them Have the child pick a sound They should knock on the letter as if
theyrsquore knocking on a door Child says ldquoKnock Knockrdquo Parent replies
ldquoWhorsquos thererdquo Child turns over the letter that they knocked on Child
says ldquo(the sound hopefullyhellipif they donrsquot know the sound tell them
immediately)rdquo
c Do the 3 Period Lesson This is important to do
1 Teachervolunteer touches each letter and says the sound
2 Say ldquoPoint to (and then say the sound)rdquo This should be done with all
three sounds that they donrsquot know
3 If the child is able to point to each sound correctly do this step
If not wait until a different day when they can Point to the letter
and say ldquowhat sound is thisrdquo Do this with all three sounds that they
donrsquot know If the child forgets tell them ldquoThis is (sound)rdquo

Memory Game of Numbers ages 4 and up Directions Print and cut out the number cards This game can be played with 1 to 11 people
1 Fold the number cards in half and place them into a bowl basket or box 2 Shake up the numbers so that they are mixed well 3 Have each player select a number from the bowl The player should unfold the
paper and look at the number but not tell the other players what the number is
4 Close the number and place the number somewhere out of view of the other players
5 Each player should go and collect a set of objects based upon the number they remember being on their card For example if the player has the number 4 he or she could collect 4 spoons or 4 tissues or 4 pennies If the player has the number 0 he or she may pretend to bring something
6 When all players have returned it is time to reveal the numbers Each player will take turns sharing what number they remember having and counting the items collected The number of items should match the number the player remembers selecting at the beginning of the game The group can use the number card to verify the correct number was collected (If the amount collected does not match the card the player can try again)
7 If a person has the number zero celebrate the fact that zero means nothing is brought
8 When all players have finished return the collected objects to their appropriate places
9 Put all of the cards back into the bowl or basket and play again

Sprouting a Pinecone Materials
- Pinecone
- Small pot
- Soil
On your next walk search for a pinecone A pinecone is the conical or rounded woody
fruit of a pine tree with scales that open to release the seeds Pinecones can be found
not too far from conifer trees in a conifer dominated woodland Female pinecones have
structurally lsquolooserrsquo scales Male pinecones have structurally lsquotighterrsquo scales Search for
a female pinecone
Arrange the pinecone and soil in the pot so that most of the pinecone is sticking out
(see photo below) Water daily Drain excess water so as not to rot the pinecone
Sensorial- Scented Play Dough (Matching)
Materials
bull 2 cups all-purpose flour bull 34 cup salt bull 4 teaspoons cream of tartar bull 2 cups lukewarm water bull 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil (coconut oil works too) bull 4 different scents for your dough (examples include cinnamon vanilla coconut maple lemon rose
and eucalyptus)
Stir together the flour salt and cream of tartar in a large pot Next add the water and oil Cook over medium heat stirring constantly Continue stirring until the dough has thickened and begins to form into a ball Remove from heat and then place inside onto wax paper Allow to cool slightly and then knead until smooth Divide the dough into balls (4 for each scent) Add your scents and divide each of these into two You should now have 8 small playdough balls
Arrange the balls into two rows on the table top to bottom with one set next to the other Example below
Vanilla
Demonstrate matching the first set for your child Choose the ball on the bottom left smell and then pick up
the ball on the bottom right If they do not smell the same move on to the next ball on the right working your
way up When you find a match place them off to the side Allow your child to continue matching in this way
If they would like mix them up again for your child to match

I SpySound Game The Montessori I Spy language lesson starts at ages 3 and uphellip
The I Spy Game can be broken down into 3-parts depending on
your childrsquos strengths and abilities
Stage 1 Beginning Sound
- Lay out three different items that your child is familiar with
in front of them
- Go over the names of the items to make sure that your child
is properly naming them (example you may call it a Cat but
your child calls it a Kitten)
- Tell your child what sound each item starts with for
example cat starts with the C sound etc
- Next start the first round of the game ldquoI spy with my little
eye something that begins with the ldquoSrdquo sound
- Have the child pick out which object they believe starts with
the correct sound
- If the child guesses correctly move on to a new sound if
guesses wrong you can say ldquohmmmhellipthat was a good guess
but that object starts with the ldquoBrdquo sound letrsquos try againrdquo
- Keep playing until child can recognize the beginning sounds
- This can be done a few times a week in various settings
Stage 2 Ending Sound
Repeat the same steps as above except focusing on
the end of the sound
Stage 3 Middle Sound
The middle sound is generally harder to hear we usually focus
on the middle sound with children who are between 4-5 years
old Again this is done just like the beginning and last sound but with
a focus on the middle sound This is harder to hear and may take
your child some time to learn

∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times
4 Every day repeat the sounds the child knows
5 Introduce or work on 3 sounds at a time with the sounds the child DOES
NOT KNOW
6 Practice the additional activities below to help the child memorize the
sounds
7 Once the child is confident with the tracing of the sound they can
practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard
Additional Activities to do with 3 sounds child doesnrsquot
know
a Lay the 3 letter sounds out on the table
1 Say ldquopoint to a (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
2 Say ldquopoint to m (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
3 Say ldquopoint to b (say the sound not the letter name) ldquo
b Do movement activities with them Examples- 1 Tell the
child ldquoTurn over a (say sound) etcrdquo
2 Tell the child ldquoPick up aaa pick up mmmm pick up b (say sounds when
you ask)rdquo
3 Tell the child ldquoHand mehellip
4 Bring ldquoardquo to someone in the house and tell himher the sound
5 Do the knock-knock gamehellipTurn all the letters over so you canrsquot see
them Have the child pick a sound They should knock on the letter as if
theyrsquore knocking on a door Child says ldquoKnock Knockrdquo Parent replies
ldquoWhorsquos thererdquo Child turns over the letter that they knocked on Child
says ldquo(the sound hopefullyhellipif they donrsquot know the sound tell them
immediately)rdquo
c Do the 3 Period Lesson This is important to do
1 Teachervolunteer touches each letter and says the sound
2 Say ldquoPoint to (and then say the sound)rdquo This should be done with all
three sounds that they donrsquot know
3 If the child is able to point to each sound correctly do this step
If not wait until a different day when they can Point to the letter
and say ldquowhat sound is thisrdquo Do this with all three sounds that they
donrsquot know If the child forgets tell them ldquoThis is (sound)rdquo

Memory Game of Numbers ages 4 and up Directions Print and cut out the number cards This game can be played with 1 to 11 people
1 Fold the number cards in half and place them into a bowl basket or box 2 Shake up the numbers so that they are mixed well 3 Have each player select a number from the bowl The player should unfold the
paper and look at the number but not tell the other players what the number is
4 Close the number and place the number somewhere out of view of the other players
5 Each player should go and collect a set of objects based upon the number they remember being on their card For example if the player has the number 4 he or she could collect 4 spoons or 4 tissues or 4 pennies If the player has the number 0 he or she may pretend to bring something
6 When all players have returned it is time to reveal the numbers Each player will take turns sharing what number they remember having and counting the items collected The number of items should match the number the player remembers selecting at the beginning of the game The group can use the number card to verify the correct number was collected (If the amount collected does not match the card the player can try again)
7 If a person has the number zero celebrate the fact that zero means nothing is brought
8 When all players have finished return the collected objects to their appropriate places
9 Put all of the cards back into the bowl or basket and play again

Sensorial- Scented Play Dough (Matching)
Materials
bull 2 cups all-purpose flour bull 34 cup salt bull 4 teaspoons cream of tartar bull 2 cups lukewarm water bull 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil (coconut oil works too) bull 4 different scents for your dough (examples include cinnamon vanilla coconut maple lemon rose
and eucalyptus)
Stir together the flour salt and cream of tartar in a large pot Next add the water and oil Cook over medium heat stirring constantly Continue stirring until the dough has thickened and begins to form into a ball Remove from heat and then place inside onto wax paper Allow to cool slightly and then knead until smooth Divide the dough into balls (4 for each scent) Add your scents and divide each of these into two You should now have 8 small playdough balls
Arrange the balls into two rows on the table top to bottom with one set next to the other Example below
Vanilla
Demonstrate matching the first set for your child Choose the ball on the bottom left smell and then pick up
the ball on the bottom right If they do not smell the same move on to the next ball on the right working your
way up When you find a match place them off to the side Allow your child to continue matching in this way
If they would like mix them up again for your child to match

I SpySound Game The Montessori I Spy language lesson starts at ages 3 and uphellip
The I Spy Game can be broken down into 3-parts depending on
your childrsquos strengths and abilities
Stage 1 Beginning Sound
- Lay out three different items that your child is familiar with
in front of them
- Go over the names of the items to make sure that your child
is properly naming them (example you may call it a Cat but
your child calls it a Kitten)
- Tell your child what sound each item starts with for
example cat starts with the C sound etc
- Next start the first round of the game ldquoI spy with my little
eye something that begins with the ldquoSrdquo sound
- Have the child pick out which object they believe starts with
the correct sound
- If the child guesses correctly move on to a new sound if
guesses wrong you can say ldquohmmmhellipthat was a good guess
but that object starts with the ldquoBrdquo sound letrsquos try againrdquo
- Keep playing until child can recognize the beginning sounds
- This can be done a few times a week in various settings
Stage 2 Ending Sound
Repeat the same steps as above except focusing on
the end of the sound
Stage 3 Middle Sound
The middle sound is generally harder to hear we usually focus
on the middle sound with children who are between 4-5 years
old Again this is done just like the beginning and last sound but with
a focus on the middle sound This is harder to hear and may take
your child some time to learn
BONUS LESSON
See if your child can hear all the sounds in the word This works
the best if the word is completely phonetic
Suggestions for I Spy objects
- Parts of a body
- Things in their room or environment (kitchen andor
bathroom)
- Things you or another person is wearing (clothing jewelry)
- Go for a walk or drive and play I Spy with everything around
you

∙26 cards-one card for every letter of the alphabet written in cursive Paper can be any
type of paper you have at home Although the best option is plain white paper using a pink
and blue marker Or you can use blue and pink paper and a black marker to write on these
The consonants are pink and the vowels (a e i o u) are blue Please reference the
following resource to help your write the cursive letters and how to pronounce the letters
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they

Memory Game of Numbers ages 4 and up Directions Print and cut out the number cards This game can be played with 1 to 11 people
1 Fold the number cards in half and place them into a bowl basket or box 2 Shake up the numbers so that they are mixed well 3 Have each player select a number from the bowl The player should unfold the
paper and look at the number but not tell the other players what the number is
4 Close the number and place the number somewhere out of view of the other players
5 Each player should go and collect a set of objects based upon the number they remember being on their card For example if the player has the number 4 he or she could collect 4 spoons or 4 tissues or 4 pennies If the player has the number 0 he or she may pretend to bring something
6 When all players have returned it is time to reveal the numbers Each player will take turns sharing what number they remember having and counting the items collected The number of items should match the number the player remembers selecting at the beginning of the game The group can use the number card to verify the correct number was collected (If the amount collected does not match the card the player can try again)
7 If a person has the number zero celebrate the fact that zero means nothing is brought
8 When all players have finished return the collected objects to their appropriate places

I SpySound Game The Montessori I Spy language lesson starts at ages 3 and uphellip
The I Spy Game can be broken down into 3-parts depending on
your childrsquos strengths and abilities
Stage 1 Beginning Sound
- Lay out three different items that your child is familiar with
in front of them
- Go over the names of the items to make sure that your child
is properly naming them (example you may call it a Cat but
your child calls it a Kitten)
- Tell your child what sound each item starts with for
example cat starts with the C sound etc
- Next start the first round of the game ldquoI spy with my little
eye something that begins with the ldquoSrdquo sound
- Have the child pick out which object they believe starts with
the correct sound
- If the child guesses correctly move on to a new sound if
guesses wrong you can say ldquohmmmhellipthat was a good guess
but that object starts with the ldquoBrdquo sound letrsquos try againrdquo
- Keep playing until child can recognize the beginning sounds
- This can be done a few times a week in various settings
Stage 2 Ending Sound
Repeat the same steps as above except focusing on
the end of the sound
Stage 3 Middle Sound
The middle sound is generally harder to hear we usually focus
on the middle sound with children who are between 4-5 years
old Again this is done just like the beginning and last sound but with
a focus on the middle sound This is harder to hear and may take
your child some time to learn
BONUS LESSON
See if your child can hear all the sounds in the word This works
the best if the word is completely phonetic
Suggestions for I Spy objects
- Parts of a body
- Things in their room or environment (kitchen andor
bathroom)
- Things you or another person is wearing (clothing jewelry)
- Go for a walk or drive and play I Spy with everything around
you

httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds (shows an image of all the
sandpaper letters and how the sounds are pronounced)
∙26 cards-one card for every letter of the alphabet written in cursive Paper can be any
type of paper you have at home Although the best option is plain white paper using a pink
and blue marker Or you can use blue and pink paper and a black marker to write on these
The consonants are pink and the vowels (a e i o u) are blue Please reference the
following resource to help your write the cursive letters and how to pronounce the letters
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson

himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times

practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard

Stage 2 Ending Sound
Repeat the same steps as above except focusing on
the end of the sound
Stage 3 Middle Sound
The middle sound is generally harder to hear we usually focus
on the middle sound with children who are between 4-5 years
old Again this is done just like the beginning and last sound but with
a focus on the middle sound This is harder to hear and may take
your child some time to learn
BONUS LESSON
See if your child can hear all the sounds in the word This works
the best if the word is completely phonetic
Suggestions for I Spy objects
- Parts of a body
- Things in their room or environment (kitchen andor

∙Videos to understand cursive sandpaper letter sounds or language program
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=yd_Mjms4fvk
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds (shows an image of all the
sandpaper letters and how the sounds are pronounced)
∙26 cards-one card for every letter of the alphabet written in cursive Paper can be any
type of paper you have at home Although the best option is plain white paper using a pink
and blue marker Or you can use blue and pink paper and a black marker to write on these
The consonants are pink and the vowels (a e i o u) are blue Please reference the
following resource to help your write the cursive letters and how to pronounce the letters
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times
4 Every day repeat the sounds the child knows
5 Introduce or work on 3 sounds at a time with the sounds the child DOES
NOT KNOW
6 Practice the additional activities below to help the child memorize the
sounds
7 Once the child is confident with the tracing of the sound they can
practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard
Additional Activities to do with 3 sounds child doesnrsquot
know
a Lay the 3 letter sounds out on the table
1 Say ldquopoint to a (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
2 Say ldquopoint to m (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
3 Say ldquopoint to b (say the sound not the letter name) ldquo

theyrsquore knocking on a door Child says ldquoKnock Knockrdquo Parent replies
ldquoWhorsquos thererdquo Child turns over the letter that they knocked on Child
says ldquo(the sound hopefullyhellipif they donrsquot know the sound tell them
immediately)rdquo
c Do the 3 Period Lesson This is important to do
1 Teachervolunteer touches each letter and says the sound
2 Say ldquoPoint to (and then say the sound)rdquo This should be done with all
three sounds that they donrsquot know
3 If the child is able to point to each sound correctly do this step

Phonogram Sounds-
httpsyoutubeyO6D8C51bc4
∙Videos to understand cursive sandpaper letter sounds or language program
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=yd_Mjms4fvk
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds (shows an image of all the
sandpaper letters and how the sounds are pronounced)
∙26 cards-one card for every letter of the alphabet written in cursive Paper can be any
type of paper you have at home Although the best option is plain white paper using a pink
and blue marker Or you can use blue and pink paper and a black marker to write on these
The consonants are pink and the vowels (a e i o u) are blue Please reference the
following resource to help your write the cursive letters and how to pronounce the letters
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times
4 Every day repeat the sounds the child knows
5 Introduce or work on 3 sounds at a time with the sounds the child DOES
NOT KNOW
6 Practice the additional activities below to help the child memorize the
sounds
7 Once the child is confident with the tracing of the sound they can
practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard
Additional Activities to do with 3 sounds child doesnrsquot
know
a Lay the 3 letter sounds out on the table
1 Say ldquopoint to a (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
2 Say ldquopoint to m (say the sound not the letter name)rdquo
3 Say ldquopoint to b (say the sound not the letter name) ldquo
b Do movement activities with them Examples- 1 Tell the
child ldquoTurn over a (say sound) etcrdquo
2 Tell the child ldquoPick up aaa pick up mmmm pick up b (say sounds when
you ask)rdquo
3 Tell the child ldquoHand mehellip
4 Bring ldquoardquo to someone in the house and tell himher the sound
5 Do the knock-knock gamehellipTurn all the letters over so you canrsquot see
them Have the child pick a sound They should knock on the letter as if
theyrsquore knocking on a door Child says ldquoKnock Knockrdquo Parent replies
ldquoWhorsquos thererdquo Child turns over the letter that they knocked on Child
says ldquo(the sound hopefullyhellipif they donrsquot know the sound tell them
immediately)rdquo
c Do the 3 Period Lesson This is important to do
1 Teachervolunteer touches each letter and says the sound
2 Say ldquoPoint to (and then say the sound)rdquo This should be done with all
three sounds that they donrsquot know
3 If the child is able to point to each sound correctly do this step
If not wait until a different day when they can Point to the letter
and say ldquowhat sound is thisrdquo Do this with all three sounds that they
donrsquot know If the child forgets tell them ldquoThis is (sound)rdquo

1 Fold the number cards in half and place them into a bowl basket or box 2 Shake up the numbers so that they are mixed well 3 Have each player select a number from the bowl The player should unfold the
paper and look at the number but not tell the other players what the number is
4 Close the number and place the number somewhere out of view of the other players
5 Each player should go and collect a set of objects based upon the number they remember being on their card For example if the player has the number 4 he or she could collect 4 spoons or 4 tissues or 4 pennies If the player has the number 0 he or she may pretend to bring something
6 When all players have returned it is time to reveal the numbers Each player will take turns sharing what number they remember having and counting the items collected The number of items should match the number the player remembers selecting at the beginning of the game The group can use the number card to verify the correct number was collected (If the amount collected does not match the card the player can try again)
7 If a person has the number zero celebrate the fact that zero means nothing is brought

∙Make each letter on an individual piece of card-stock or cardboard paper in cursive Apply
glue and sprinkle sand on to make a sandpaper letter If you donrsquot have access to these
products you can simply write them and use the cards that you made above for having
your child use for tracing during the lesson
∙If your child knows all the sounds you can begin making cards for the
Montessori Phonograms listed on the last page You can see how they should be
written and pronounced on the following web page
httpswwwalldayprimarycomphonetic-sounds
Optional materials to help with writing
∙A metal plastic or wood tray that has a lip on it Try to keep the lip as short as possible (1
inch is best) Examples would be a jelly roll pan cookie sheet or lid to a pan Find material
to fill up your tray Sand is the best option You can also try salt sugar or flour
∙A chalkboard chalk and eraser
∙A whiteboard erasable marker and cloth
What to do before you begin giving lessons
Go through the cursive cards that you have created Place them in the order as suggested
on the other page (a m b t f etc) Make your own list of letters Keep track of this list
to help you remember what sounds your child knows and doesnrsquot know Go through the
cards and your list to check off what sounds your child doesnrsquot know Show the child the
individual cards that you have created On your list make a note of the letters known and
unknown Use this list to write the date the child has memorized that particular sound
Steps in the lesson
1 Position yourself at a table with your child Sit on the right side of
himher if they are right-handed and on their left side if they are
lefthanded In this way your child will be able to see what yoursquore showing
them
2 Put the cursive letter written example in front of the child Show your
child how to trace the sound of the letter on the cursive letter card or
sandpaper letter if you have made one Show the child using the dominant
hand that your child will use how to trace the letter If the child is
lefthanded show himher how to trace with your left hand
3 Have your child trace the sound starting on the left side of the letter
The child should use their pointer and middle finger (close together) while
tracing If they are right-handed they should trace with the right hand
If they are left-handed they should trace with the left hand If yoursquore
unsure have them pick up a pencil from the table to see which hand they
use If they trace it incorrectly show them how to tracemake the letter
again Have the child try again Keep showing the child until they can do it
by themselves Repetition is good for the child and helps them Start with
ldquoardquo sound and move on in the order suggested on the following page After
tracing with their fingers the child should tell you the sound the letter
makes If they remember the sound have them practice the sound two
more times If they do not remember have them practice 7 more times

practice tracing the letter in the sand (or salt etc) tray They can also
practice writing the letter on the chalkboard or on whiteboard

5 Do the knock-knock gamehellipTurn all the letters over so you canrsquot see
them Have the child pick a sound They should knock on the letter as if
theyrsquore knocking on a door Child says ldquoKnock Knockrdquo Parent replies
ldquoWhorsquos thererdquo Child turns over the letter that they knocked on Child
says ldquo(the sound hopefullyhellipif they donrsquot know the sound tell them
immediately)rdquo
c Do the 3 Period Lesson This is important to do
1 Teachervolunteer touches each letter and says the sound
2 Say ldquoPoint to (and then say the sound)rdquo This should be done with all
three sounds that they donrsquot know
3 If the child is able to point to each sound correctly do this step

Memory Game of Numbers ages 4 and up Directions Print and cut out the number cards This game can be played with 1 to 11 people
1 Fold the number cards in half and place them into a bowl basket or box 2 Shake up the numbers so that they are mixed well 3 Have each player select a number from the bowl The player should unfold the
paper and look at the number but not tell the other players what the number is
4 Close the number and place the number somewhere out of view of the other players
5 Each player should go and collect a set of objects based upon the number they remember being on their card For example if the player has the number 4 he or she could collect 4 spoons or 4 tissues or 4 pennies If the player has the number 0 he or she may pretend to bring something
6 When all players have returned it is time to reveal the numbers Each player will take turns sharing what number they remember having and counting the items collected The number of items should match the number the player remembers selecting at the beginning of the game The group can use the number card to verify the correct number was collected (If the amount collected does not match the card the player can try again)
7 If a person has the number zero celebrate the fact that zero means nothing is brought
8 When all players have finished return the collected objects to their appropriate places
9 Put all of the cards back into the bowl or basket and play again
