Program Overview: The early exposure to Handwriting Preparation, Penmanship, Phonics, and Reading facilitates learning habits to last a lifetime. Spatial perception, fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, posture, and pencil grip provide the groundwork for the development of good penmanship skills. Through systematic exposure to increasingly difficult skill levels, these prewriting exercises are designed to prepare children for writing readiness. Once the lower levels of handwriting preparation are mastered, penmanship skills are developed. Here the child is taught the correct way to form letters and numbers between the lines of a page. As part of our phonics-based reading program the association between letters and sounds is highlighted. Phonics concepts are taught in a fun and easy way through the use of sandpaper letters, manipulative objects, cards, and worksheets. Once mastery of the symbol-sound correspondence of the alphabet is achieved, reading lessons begin. Reading skills continue to be built and strengthened as the children progress through the material at an individualized pace. The Sandpaper Letters are not included. They can be purchased together in the Brilliant Minds Montessori Reading and Writing Kit.
