Problem
"Children learn about writing and acquire an interest in it as a result of constant exposure to print and writing in their environment. In order to scaffold my preschooler's writing, I use a variety of activities, such as drawing and scribbling. Children can learn to differentiate between drawings and writing by independently drawing and scribbling. It also enables the identification of the age at which students begin to comprehend how writing works. Second, I make use of letters and letter-like forms. Children can recognize that print has significance when they constantly use seemingly random letters and letter-like patterns, but they do not typically comprehend that letters consistently match the sounds in spoken words. My third preferred technique would be salient and beginning sounds. Children can utilize this method to begin generating and articulating audible noises. Children are given the opportunity to begin inventing spellings, allowing them to develop phonetically-sound spellings based on their previous knowledge."
Thank you for sharing the stages of writing and their importance. How would you support these in the Montessori preschool classroom? What activities would you plan for them?
