Modern Montessori Learn About Phonics introduces the joy of reading to the child. Alphabet sounds are learned individually, and then combined to form short words. The child sounds these words out phonetically. Gradually, he will be able to blend these sounds together and say the whole word.

The teaching of sounds and letters is through a multi-sensory approach. The child will hear the sound, see its representation in the form of a letter and feel the movements involved in its writing.
