Does your child have the potential to become the next Larry Page or Sergey Brin? Are you doing everything you can to help him develop this potential?

Now let me ask you a question. If I can show you a proven way to give your child the Montessori Advantage at home, would you be willing to give it a try? Just keep reading and I will show you how it can be done….and it’s easier than you think.

Secret #1: You don’t have to be a teacher to do Montessori at home.
If you have the proper Montessori materials, and clear, step-by-step instructions to follow, then anyone (even you!) can do Montessori at home. Also, despite what Montessori teachers will tell you, your child doesn't need to be in a classroom environment to get the full benefit of a Montessori education. That's because preschool-aged kids for the most part prefer to work independently.

Secret #2: Kids love working with Montessori materials.
Each item challenges your child to learn, and he will not be satisfied until he masters it. Even after he masters an activity, he will continue to come back to it over and over again. Would you like it if your kids were happily absorbed in their play and never got sick of their toys?

Secret #3: Kids learn reading, writing, and math in 4 basic steps (keep reading…because in the next section I describe each of these steps in detail).

Secret #4: Your child can teach himself to read, write, and do math
Montessori materials are specially designed so that children can play with the materials by themselves and learn the concepts on their own. That's why Montessori classes are usually much larger than regular preschools – because teachers don't need to be constantly interacting with each child.

Secret #5: Your child can learn to read, write, and do math at a very young age – long before they even go to kindergarten.

Don't forget there are SIX secrets... that means there's still one secret left!

I was pretty sure there must be lots of parents like you and me out there – people who want to do Montessori at home but don’t know exactly where to start. So I put all the information I gathered into an e-Book called “8 Critical Things You Need Know About Doing Montessori At Home (Practical Advice and Proven Techniques used by Montessori Teachers)”. I don’t want you to waste a lot of time and effort duplicating the work that I have already done gathering this information. So please, do yourself a favor and read this e-Book (of course, it’s free).

I also developed a simple, step-by-step system to teach my son reading, writing and math. It’s based on the Steps below, using the classic Montessori method. While you’re reading about each Step you can have a peek at the Step-by-Step packages I created….you’ll be amazed and relieved to discover how easy it is to do Montessori at home using the step-by-step system I developed.

1. Language Step 1
The first step is to learn the shapes and sounds of all the letters.
Your child will learn letter shapes and sounds using Sandpaper Letters. These are wooden cards with sandpaper letter shapes glued onto each one. When your child traces the sandpaper letter with his fingers, he is learning what it feels like to write the letters. While he traces the letter, he says the phonetic sound out loud.

So, Montessori children learn their letters phonetically – that is, they learn the sound the letter makes rather than the name of the letter. It has been shown over and over that this is a superior way to teach children to read. While he is playing with the Sandpaper Letters, your child will also enjoy matching the letter to Beginning Sound Cards (pictures of words that start with each letter sound).

Take a look at my Language Step 1 package….you’ll see that it contains everything you need to get started with reading and writing, including an Instruction Book with authentic Montessori Presentations – easy, step-by-step instructions for presenting the material to your child using the classic Montessori method.

2. Language Step 2
The next step in language development is to start learning to write with a pencil. This step is usually combined with learning to write letters, a frustrating experience for most children! Instead, Montessori children learn to control a pencil as a separate activity from learning to write their letters. To do this, they play with the Metal Insets. These are thin metal frames, with cut-out shapes (insets).

Your child will trace both the inset and the frame and then color in the shapes using colored pencils. Eventually he will learn to make symmetrical patterns that resemble stained glass windows! Your child will enjoy doing this for hours and hours, and while doing so he is gaining practice controlling a pencil, a skill he will later use when he learns to write words.

Take a look at my Language Step 2 package…you’ll see that I’ve put together all the things you need – even a pencil holder and a stack of paper that’s an exact fit for the Metal Insets!

3. Language Step 3
Next, your child will learn to create words on his own! Reading comes naturally before writing, because writing is a skill that takes longer to develop. The Montessori method makes use of the Moveable Alphabet, thin wooden letters that a child can manipulate to make words. Your child will 'write' using the Moveable Alphabet instead of using a pencil. In this way, Montessori children learn to read and write long before most other children.

Your child can think up his own words to make with the Moveable Alphabet, or he can use Picture Word Cards to give him ideas. The words are printed on the back of the Picture Word Cards so your child can check his work to see if he used the right letters to spell the word.

Take a look at my Language Step 3 package…I’m sure you can imagine how much fun your child will have with this one!

4. Language Step 4
The 4th step in learning language is to read someone else’s words (with the Moveable Alphabet, children read words they created themselves, which is not truly reading yet). To do this, your child will work with the Phonetic Object Box. This is a box containing miniature objects representing words that are spelled phonetically using 3 or 4 letters. Accompanying the box is a set of Word Cards – one card for each object in the box. By sounding out the words on the cards and matching the cards with the objects in the box, your child will practice reading.

Another way to practice reading someone else’s words is to use Action Cards (sometimes called Command Cards), which are verbs printed on small cards. Your child will read the word and then perform the action printed on the cards. He can also practice silent reading using Secret Word Cards: select a card, silently read the ‘secret’ word printed on it, and then return the card to the basket.

Take a look at my Language Step 4 package. This is my favourite one, and I’m extremely proud of it. It includes the Phonetic Object Box plus Word Cards, Action Cards, and Secret Word Cards…and of course, an Instruction Book.

There are 4 basic steps to learning math skills using the Montessori method.

1. Math Step 1
The first step is to learn the values of the numbers 1 – 10. Lots of small children can count in sequence from 1 – 10, but they don’t really know the values associated with the numbers (for example, that ‘2’ is twice as big as ‘1’). Montessori children learn this concept effortlessly by playing with the famous Montessori Number Rods.

Once your child is familiar with the Number Rods, you can introduce the Number Tablets, which are numerals printed on a thin wooden board. Your child will match the Number Tablets to the proper Number Rods.

Take a look at my Math Step 1 package….you’ll see that it contains everything you need to get started with math, including an Instruction Book with authentic Montessori Presentations – easy, step-by-step instructions for presenting the material to your child using the classic Montessori method.

2. Math Step 2
The second step is to learn to count individual items. This is a more difficult concept that is often introduced too soon. Montessori children use Spindle Boxes to learn this concept. Your child will learn to put three spindles into the '3' section of the box, and so on.. Since there is also a section labeled ‘0’, he is introduced to the concept of zero.

Montessori children also use Numerals and Counters to reinforce the concept. These are separate wooden numbers and small round discs or counters. Your child will lay out the numerals, and underneath them place the correct number of counters. By placing the counters in two columns underneath the numerals, he is introduced to the concept of odd and even numbers.

When children are first introduced to the Numerals and Counters, they like to use Numerals and Counters Cards. Your child will place the Numerals and Counters on top of the cards, which are printed with outlines of the Numerals and Counters in the proper positions.

Take a look at my Math Step 2 package…you’ll see that it contains all these things (even the Numerals and Counters Cards), as well as an Instruction Book.

3. Math Step 3
Next, children are introduced to the decimal system. Here, your child will learn category names (units, tens, hundreds, and thousands) and the relative sizes of the categories by playing with the famous Montessori Golden Beads. These are beautiful amber-colored beads that are wired together in groups. A single golden bead represents 'one', a ten-bead bar represents 'ten', a hundred-bead square represents 'one hundred', and a thousand-cube represents 'one thousand'. By handling the Golden Beads during play, your child unconsciously learn how big ‘1000’ is compared to ‘1’ or ‘100’ or ‘10’.

After being introduced to the Golden Beads, your child is shown the Wooden Number Cards. These are thin wooden boards that have numbers from 1 to 1000 printed on them. Working with the Wooden Number Cards and the Golden Beads together, your child will learn to associate the written symbols for the categories of the decimal system with their quantities.

Take a look at my Math Step 3 package…you’ll see that it contains both of these items…and a few other things you’ll need, including an Instruction Book.

4. Math Step 4
The 4th step in learning basic math concepts is to learn the names and values of the numbers 11 to 19 (the ‘teens’) and then from 10 to 90 by tens (the ‘tens’). Finally he will learn to count from 1 to 99. Once again there is a special Montessori material designed to teach this – the Teens and Tens Boards, also sometimes called Seguin Boards. These boards have digit tablets that can slide over the numbers on the boards, allowing you to create any number from 1 to 99.

Your child will use beads along with the Teens and Tens Boards to learn the math concepts. These include some of the Golden Beads introduced earlier in Step 3 and also colored bead bars called the Short Bead Stair.

Take a look at my Math Step 4 package. This is my biggest package and it’s packed with lots of great stuff!
