What Does Not Belong Activity – Montessori Pre-Reading Language Lesson

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure .

This post includes the Montessori language activity pre-reading lesson What Does Not Belong. The purpose is to prepare a child for reading. The child must be able to focus and to hold interest. A child will work on critical thinking, which helps reading comprehension down the line.
