Baan Dek

Language and Literacy in Montessori

Other Good Things

In the first of a new video series, we sit down with Ms. Charlotte Wood, a primary Montessori guide, to discuss language and literacy in Montessori. Ms. Wood walks us through some helpful examples of ways language develops in the classroom, explaining, more thoroughly, how it is implemented as a natural process of the environment, and the ways in which it comes to flourish in terms of that dynamic. She also offers very practical, helpful tips on how best to encourage the development of literacy at home. We hope you enjoy!

One of our main focuses at Baan Dek is parent education. We absolutely relish the opportunity to sit down with parents, members of the community, and those interested in education, to discuss our passions. Namely, helping children develop the independence, confidence and fortitude to explore their interests.

For us, the primary constituents of any truly successful education often involve three main components: parents, children, and teachers. The more symbiosis, and the more porous these relationships can be, often the more productive the conversations. In an effort to open up our internal workshops, we recorded a few short sessions to share with everyone who was unable to attend.

While we plan to continue our in-house workshops, we also hope to open them up to a broader community, by adding more video and audio content in the future. We would love to have your input on the topics. Are there certain themes that you would like us to discuss? We’d love to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to send us a note, or leave a comment below. Happy watching!
