Workshop 3-6: Pamela Nunn - NSW
This workshop will cover the fundamentals of reading in the Montessori Children's House enabling workshops participants to further support emergent readers and challenge competent ones in the Montessori 3-6 environment.
We prepare both the eye and the mind of the child for reading. Every word the child will come to read he has first been exposed to in an environment rich in oral language, vocabulary and writing.
Reading is an analysis and synthesis of written symbols. We begin with the analysis of individual sounds that build words and then words that build phrases and phrases that build sentences. Our goal for the child is total reading. Total reading is reading in its fullness. The child will be able to read any suitable material and comprehend the meaning conveyed as well as experience the emotion and have an appreciation of the style of the writing.
"Reading is the entrance by means of the written language to the field of culture. It is not, like writing, a means of self-expression. It has instead, for its aim, the gathering and reconstruction, by means of the alphabetic signs, of words and ideas expressed by others who talk to us in silence."
