Disclaimer for the video:
Please note that training in the Montessori philosophy is assumed. The video is simply a general guide on the sequence and how-to of the presentations.
Presentation 3 (3-Period Lesson) should only be done once the child has had extensive sensorial experience with all four sets so that the neurological pathways already exist, and the vocabulary can just be “hooked on”.
This resource consists of 9 pairs of opposites to be used as a matching exercise.
A control booklet is included so the children can check their own work.

For younger children, print two sets of the pictures and leave the labels attached on one - the children can then use those as control cards to match the loose labels. For early readers, match labels to pictures and use control booklet to check and discuss work. For older children, match labels and text to pictures.

This PDF poster contains high-quality animal graphics for each letter of the English alphabet. The initial sound is purely phonetic.
Because children love to learn new words, some unusual or rather unknown animals are included. This offers endless opportunities for group or individual discussions as well as cross-curricular and extended learning.
I recommend Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF. In the print dialogue, choose "Print as Poster" and find the size that is right for you.
