What Are Classified Cards?
Montessori 3-Part Cards usually consist of three pieces:
a control card with picture and name
a picture card and
a label card
Ours come with an extra text card for readers and a control booklet so the work is self-correcting and independent! You can choose to include the optional cursive label (D’Nealian font) or just use the print version.
3-Part Cards are used to explore a variety of topics that are otherwise inaccessible in a normal classroom or home, bridging space and time. They can be matched to real objects or each other, used as a kind of flashcard in a 3-Period Lesson, adapted for memory games and serve as reading practice.
Explore population studies with clear pictures and simple text. Our cards develop order, reading and visual discrimination. They build vocabulary and help with classification and categorisation. Not only that, they make learning fun and easy!
Content & Instructions

High quality African alphabet cards with extension material.
This amazing resource is ideal for children from three to five years. Using the phonetic approach, it provides a hand-drawn, detailed illustration of things in Africa - mostly animals - for each letter of the alphabet.
X has two versions - one with words that contain a clearly audible /x/ sound, and one that is blank (because there is no word in English that begins with a phonetic /x/ sound). You can choose which one to use!
In addition, the back of each card has ten more beginning-sound pictures that cover a range of objects, situations and context so that there’s always something that children around the world would recognise.
The perfect addition to your language materials, these alphabet cards not only help letter recognition and phonemic awareness, but also serve as a fantastic discussion starter while giving a glimpse into the wonderful continent that is Africa.
