Maria Montessori saw the ability to categorise and classify information as the cornerstone of intelligence. This high-quality resource allows children to independently, or through a discussion, classify carnivores (carnivorans, to be specific) into feliforms (cat-like) and caniforms (dog-like). The control booklet provides extra information on each concept and reinforces it through carefully selected text accompanying each classified thing.

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. The PDF download includes a cursive/print as well as a print-only version. Simply print the file on thin cardstock, fold and laminate.

3-Part Cards introduce new vocabulary, assist classification, early reading and one-to-one correspondence. For nursery age children, the cards consist of a control (picture plus label), picture and label as well as a control booklet with text on each picture.

For classrooms with less flexibility on individual work, the cards may be used as flash cards, too.
