Students learn the precise name of each form through the three-period lesson, building spoken vocabulary before they read. They are designed for Montessori primary classrooms, homeschools, English learners, and intervention settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese advanced land and water forms are commonly encountered in real life, in the news, and in geography bees.

Montessori is a student-centered approach: the teacher observes what each student is curious about and offers materials that match. Many young students are fascinated by maps, islands, and the natural world. When they are interested in the topic, students will choose these cards again and again. Each time is more practice naming, discussing, and sorting. That practice builds vocabulary, part of the language comprehension side of reading in both Gough and Tunmer's (1986) simple view of reading and Scarborough's (2001) reading rope. By learning what a glacier is now, a student will understand it when they later encounter it in text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"accordion group\" is=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle text-lg\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use Land \u0026amp; Water 2 vocabulary cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, spark curiosity by discussing land and water: where students have seen a river, delta, mesa, or canyon.
