[quote=Anonymous]A real strength of most Montessori schools is curriculum. Montessori teaches both math concepts and also computation in a good way, with hands on materials like number rods and short/long chains. Also Montessori is very good for reading, because Montessori always uses a Phonics-centered curriculum, so students learn to sound out unfamiliar words. They teach letters, then teach Phonics, and then teach reading. So they build a solid literacy foundation. No “4th grader cannot really read” surprises with Montessori, unlike the widely adopted, but now discredited “Lucy Calkins” whole language/balanced reading crap method.[/quote]
