Swallow the Vowels Language Activities for Preschoolers Montessori Worksheets (4-6 Year Olds)

Children can memorize many things and the fact that, from a young age, they can remember a letter does not mean that they are prepared to read and write.

Starting with the sounds, how the letters sound, and not what they are called, helps the child’s fluency as they learn to read and write using sounds to form words.

You have to work with the child to see the sounds that make up the words “sound play.” Once the child is familiar with this, it will be when he begins to put the letters on paper, not before.

Working on sounds should be like a game with children and not an obligation because it will make the child not want to do the activities.

With these activities, children will gradually say the sounds of the different words that they are working on. This will be a guide and connection between sounds and reading and writing.

The activities for children to learn to read and write are straightforward, starting with familiarizing them. It is about the child being able to recognize them visually, but also, and most importantly, that he/she touches and feels them, so we can make letters out of some material that helps him/her remember them.

The following language activity for preschoolers is focused on the Montessori learning method. Children will be able to see and feel the vowels in a concrete and real way. In this way, it will be easier for them to relate the letters abstractly later.

Let kids learn the vowels using this fun language activity for preschoolers. Swallow the vowels Montessori activity with free printable worksheets.
