Short Vowel Word Labels & Objects Montessori Language Activity

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure .

The Montessori Pink Level focuses on short vowel word reading, building, and writing. There are two main things I really believe in 1) presenting REAL images to children as noted in a recent post and 2) presenting concrete objects, especially for the younger children.

I love Safari Toobs and Japanese erasers. Montessori Services also has outstanding object packages for early childhood language learning. So, I really enjoy this lesson for the home or the classroom.

Materials for Short Vowel Word Activity

  1. Short a word objects
  2. Labels (use Century Gothic font if you’re creating your own.
  3. A basket or container for the objects and word labels
  4. A work rug or table

Montessori Short Vowel Lesson – Begin with Short A Words

  • Invite the child to do the work. Go to the shelf with the child. Bring the container with the short /a/ IMAGES and word labels to the work rug. Begin with short a words.
  • Remove the objects, one at a time, from the container, naming each object as you place the objects in a vertical column. Have the child name each object.

  • Select a word label. Make the first sound of the word, then the second and final sounds. Blend the sounds together to make the word. Scan the objects with the word label & place the word label next to the appropriate object.

Continue with this approach, isolating each sound in the word.

  • When the child has matched all the word labels to the objects, remove the objects and have the child read each word out loud.
  • Return materials to the container. Return to shelf.
