Montessori is a student-centered approach: the teacher observes what each student is curious about and offers materials that match. 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.\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 these 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 student curiosity by saying you're going to do some work with modes of transportation. Discuss what cars, trucks, etc. the students are familiar with. Then, choose a few cards at a time and use the three-period lesson to name each item. Once students know the names, use the cards for sorting games.
