MONTESSORI PHONICS Working with word families Word building is the skill of listening to individual sounds in words. Once children acquire this skill, they can actually attempt to read beyond three letter words. Budsy observes that chubs tried to read even four to five letter words at present, as he is pretty confident with his sounds. While we have not officially moved up to the Blue Scheme in Montessori Phonics, we encourage him to exercise his word building ability whenever he feels like trying out to read a new word. Many parents and even Montessori educators themselves skip the word building stage. They go right into word families because it shows faster results, however children lose the opportunity to gain the independent ability to acquire sensitivity to letter sounds. The objective of introducing Montessori Phonics is aimed to equip children with the knowledge towards an independent process of reading via multi-sensory learning sessions. So, if you have diligently followed through with the Montessori Phonics route to teach your children to read, you will know its not easy teaching children to blend the individual sounds to read three letter phonetic words. Success is may seem to arrive pretty slowly, but surely. Now, if you have pressed on with word building sessions with your child over some time and have tasted success, this next phase will be the easiest phase to teach. In fact, its more just brushing up on working with the fluency of blending 3 phonetic letters to read words. This, thanks to diligence in word building sessions. We have now reached the stage where children learn word families in Montessori Phonics. In Budsys Phonics lessons with Budsys students, almost all children in the group would already know how to read them even by merely looking at the materials Budsy had prepared. This shows that the children themselves are adequately prepared and ready for sessions to work on their reading fluency next.
