I just started watching your videos last week and i just love how you teach. Your voice becomes soo smooth when you are pretending to teach a child. I am still new to Montessori and i know i have a lot to learn. I am a mom of 4 kids, i know i won't afford private school for all four of them, i decided to take a Montessori course so that i fill in the gap that public school is leaving open. I am from Africa, so funds are are a bit tight but i try my best to do some DIY's here and there. I must say i have a lot to learn and change about myself. A lot of kids in my country(Namibia) need this method as our teachers in public schools are overwhelmed and not motivated at all. Love love your work.

Thank you Nelao!! Your words are encouraging and I'm inspired to hear about your work in Namibia. There is so much you can create on your own. The key is to understand the method. I recommend Dr. Montessori's book The 1946 London Lectures. That paints a great picture of the theory. Hope this helps!

Thank you and you are not alone. It is a dramatic shift when we start using the scientific method to approach the child instead of the traditional authoritarian approach must of us were raised with and offered at school. We are going for intrinsic positive motivation here. Once we get there, everything is easy. But it is a lot retraining for we adults who were raised with a completely different approach. Don't give up. You can do it!

I have been attempting to set up my shelves and language curriculum the Muriel Dwyer way for the last several years--this video really helped me see how I could refine it, smooth out some tricky spots, cull the unnecessary/superfluous and enhance my presentations. Thank you so much!

Keisha, we also have a blog post specifically on how to set up the language area (www.maitrilearning.com/blogs/montessori-pedagogy/34012993-setting-up-the-language-area) as well as an ebook (www.maitrilearning.com/products/setting-up-the-language-area-e-book?_pos=2&_sid=46ee885e1&_ss=r). I hope these help! Julia

@@keishadecastaneda2159 Using the movable alphabet to assess a child's developing language abilities I think is inherent in all Montessori work. One of the key tenets of the method is that the materials are diagnostic, right? So every time we observe a child interacting with a Montessori materials, it is giving us information on that child. If we see them writing words and leaving out the middle sounds, we know we need to step back and revisit the middle sounds part of the sound game. But as far as using this as a form of benchmark assessment, I think that would be determined more on a school-by-school basis. You may want out to AMS directly to ask.
