[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Struggling with standard procedures of identifying numbers and letters on a daily basis but seems to do better in a one on one setting. Personality seems to play a bit of a role as the screen is quite noisy with all the kids doing class at once and that drives my child mad.

In person Montessori (or even online for next year of classes remain online). How would you presume a child would do if they are at K level and struggling in some areas with letter and number recognition? Is having a child in traditional schooling a better option if they struggle academically? We are dealing with some social anxiety as well. [/quote] You need to introduce more hands on practice. Something as simple as play-doh and sand can help. Do you use magnetic letters and numbers. They offer a tactile object to make it more concrete and less abstract. Think about what you did in kindergarten and what they would in the classroom in person...Glue cotton balls onto a letter then draw a picture of something that starts with that letter. Using a piece of string or yarn to form a letter. Going on a scavenger hunt looking for objects that start with that letter. Singing the abc song while pointing to the letters on a chart on the wall. Matching the letters using magnetic letters and the abc chart. Sesame Street is awesome for number and letter recognition. Start with those ideas and you might come up with a more on your own. Also invest in number and ABC books to reinforce it. Scholastic sells them at a discount. [/quote]
