Montessori Letter Tracing
At whatever given moment, my son is obsessed with at least 30 different things. Ii-thirds of them chronicle to sports or food. Then you accept the chinese erasers, Oliver Jeffers, absurd pens, etc. category. Within this last group falls his obsession with script, and his dearest of similes. Yep, similes. He'south talked in similes for a couple of years now, and they always make me laugh. Similes are the way he expresses himself when he wants to make his indicate. What I beloved most near his similes is that they requite me a glimpse into the inner-workings of his fascinating vii-year-former brain. He thinks pumpkins are make clean and chickens are hungry! He'due south a poet (or a comedian)…both are awesome.
His obsession with script is because his cousin in London of the same age has been writing in script since birth, practically. Our school doesn't teach script until third grade which, in my stance, is missing the boat. Montessori educators believe that at around age 4 1/2, children "explode" into writing. This is the perfect time to showtime them tracing messages with a pencil (before that age they tin trace with their finger). Thank God for cousins abroad who inspire! For about a yr now he has been tracing my script letters. This fourth dimension, I decided to mix his love of similes with his passion for script. We used these neon Bistro Chalk Markers, which are so cool to write with as they glide smoothly along the black surface.
Equally the niggling guy was tracing his similes with his tricked out pens, he told me that he was as psyched equally a moo-cow!
