This resource works beautifully alongside the Montessori Movable Alphabet, providing a hands-on way to read, spell, and self-correct. Extend the learning with basic-level sentence analysis! After reading and matching each sentence, children place Montessori grammar symbols above each word to identify the article, noun, adjective, verb, and preposition.
What You’ll Find Inside:
18 Decodable Sentence Strips with Touch Dots – Each strip has touch dots under every word to support decoding and blending. Students tap each dot while sounding out words to build phonemic awareness and fluency.
18 Matching Picture Cards – Students read a sentence, then match it to the correct real-photo picture. This verifies comprehension and confirms understanding.
18 Sentence Tracing Strips – The same decodable sentences appear in a tracing font. Tracing reinforces letter formation, handwriting skills, and spelling patterns.
Self-Checking Assessment Sheets – Students check their matches on their own, encouraging self-correction and confidence. Great for literacy centers and independent work.
8-Page Student Booklet – Students build their own booklet by completing the missing word, tracing phonogram words, and answering simple questions.
