Theseexercises promote visual discrimination and comparison of solids andplanes. The cards are of durable and washable rigid vinyl and do notneed to be laminated.  Purchase from:

EARLY PHONICS SYSTEM

This organized and flexible early phonics system gives children the practice they need for learning the sounds of the English alphabet. This systematic approach, tested in Montessori classrooms, also aids the teacher in keeping track of each child’s progress. Picture cards and letter cards are in full-color and laminated. Lesson plans are included for each set.

Initial Consonants    
(EP1)
20 consonant letter cards (2" x 2½”) and 150 picture cards (color and laminated, 2¼” x 2½”) are provided in labeled 6 boxes to create 6 different sorting exercises. Each box contains a carefully selected group of consonants that are dissimilar in sound and shape, such as h, s, t. Sort the picture cards according to their initial sound. After sorting, the child repeats the initial sound followed by the name of each picture. The unusually large number of picture cards enables the child to internalize the sound of each initial consonant because the oral repetition reinforces the child’s awareness of that sound in association with the visual letter.

Middle Vowels     (EP2)
This set of 42 picture cards (color and laminated, 2" x 2½”) introduces the five vowels after work with the Initial Consonants set. The 42 picture cards are divided among 5 boxes labeled a, e, i, o, and u. Cards are laid out and are named. Then each word is spelled out using the Movable Alphabet. This activity is a key preparation for the traditional Object Box One, first reading lesson.

Seven Prepositions       (L2)
This duplicate set of 2-color photocards (2¾” x 4¼”) illustrates the relationship of a ball to a stationary basket: in, on, above, under, beside, behind, in front. Cut one set of cards apart to make a 3-part matching exercise. The Replicard (8½” x 11") is photocopied to make worksheets for the child to label. Completed worksheets are cut apart and stapled together to make a “Where is the Ball?” booklet.  Purchase from: http://www.montessoriservices.com/seven-prepositions 

Everyday Objects      (FP5)
Develop awareness of the various materials that are used in the manufacture of familiar household objects. This set provides a simple follow-up sorting activity after sensorial exploration of different materials, and draws the child’s attention to five common manufacturing substances. Sort 15 labeled photocards (3¼” x 4”) under 5 label cards: Metal, Wood, Fiber, Plastic, and Ceramic. Picture cards are in full color and laminated.
