Dear Ashley, PLEASE PLEASE talk about that how you can manage all things (house cleaning, your personal care, shopping, working, planning the life, cooking, ...) I REALLY REALLY want to learn how you can manage all of these . Please answer me. THANKS A LOT :)))

I'd like to highlight something you said briefly because it is already second nature to you but so important to remember-this whole process should be INVITING. It's easy to keep a Montessori mindset with practical life activities, but once we get into actual "learning, " our traditional tendencies can take over. We are not trying to get the child to sit, focus, and study with us for x amount of minutes. We are INVITING the child to take part in this very exciting and new activity, if they are ready and willing to. We can get caught up in the timelines and the endless rush to get our kids to reach a milestone. Don't forget to listen to your child!

And for exposure with little ones, I found that I was using the same vocab day in and day out because our days are so repetitive with the current situation. So I've started narrating anything that's in my head, which is usually full of vocab that is a lot more varied and complex and rich. My thoughts on a news article I read, the pipe that's leaking and needs a new gasket, our roof shingles that need to be replaced, the credit card statements that came....these are all words we don't think to use around our kids, but I'm constantly playing them in my head. Making a conscious effort to just verbalize everything has opened up a lot of new language opportunities!

I am not a parent but my husband and I are trying to adopt. I am hopeful I will get to put into practice these Montessori methods as it really does 'speak' to me! Love all your videos 💗

Read 👏 Every 👏 Day 👏
The more exposure to different words the better!!

Ashley, I appreciate your hard work so much! Incredibly helpful video as usual! Best Montessori content by far💥

[sarahbeth]

Thank you so much this video!!! When you teach us parents, it’s like Montessori for adults. You are so easy to understand and give such clear instructions and examples. I am a homeschool Mom as well and I incorporate a lot of Montessori into our schoolwork and home life as well. The more I learn how to teach with the Montessori Method, the happier my 2 boys are on schoolwork days.

So thank you for making our lives easier and happier and more accomplished!

what a marvelous way to learn reading!!! so gradual and gentle, and much less discouraging then just picking up a book.

[AprilKarl]

Such a great video!! Loved the action words activity, can’t wait to try that!

I wanted to point out something about “puzzle” words: The Logic of English points out 31 spelling rules that cover over 90% of the English language. So a lot of these irregular words are not irregular at all, they just follow a spelling rule that we are unaware of.

Since my kids aren't toddlers, I won't be attending conference, but I will watch your lecture just for pure pleasure! ♥️ Can't wait for your new day in a life video! 😁🤗♥️

Love the simplicity and originality in each of your videos❤️

[EmilyOsmund]

I highly recommend the book “Why Johnny Can’t Read” by Rudolf Flesch. It talks about phonics and why kids are at a disadvantage in American public education because they teach memorization rather than independent and self learning. The book has lessons at the end that utilize phonics to teach your child how to read and It’s really great for homeschooling.

I am glad I watched this video! I didn’t realize that teaching writing that way was more natural to learn first before reading.

You're an amazing mother, GOD bless you and your family.
I'm a mother of Three toddlers and I've learned a lot of interesting and useful things from you. Thank you and keep going 😊

[TheGoodVillagers]

Yes! It is possible to teach toddlers to read and sets them up for real success! Thanks for helping us all out 🥰

[jodalinasparty]

That Brussel sprout was the biggest I've ever seen!!!

[Emily-cdje]

I stumbled on your videos and heard your girls talk and my heart sang. They sounded like my kids. And now I’m watching this video. Amen to I always thought I was weird or alone in how I spoke to my kids.

[Libby]

This is really interesting because it’s EXACTLY how children are taught to read at state (public) schools here in the UK (starting at preschool, at age 3).

[wisdomencouraged]

Great video! I think it's funny that the word "a" was included in the last set of words, because I've never met anyone who pronounces it that way, every native English speaker pronounces it as "uh"

[birdieculture]

Binge watching your videos as you speak. Your videos are so helpful its insane. Always loved Montessori but also learning about Steiner. Thank you so so much for making these videos!
