[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori taught phonics so it is the only reason my dyslexic child learned to read. [/quote] I went to Montessori and was reading by age 3. No one knows how I learned to read - either Montessori or Sesame Street are the most likely teachers. I sent my ADHD DC with a language disorder to Montessori because of my good experience. A key part of Montessori is that kids choose their own activities. My DC found the phonics materials hard because of his language learning disorder and thus never chose that work, which he needed very badly. But the math! DC chose math instead and advanced beyond grade level, a strength and interest that lasted him through HS. We finally had a talk with his Montessori teacher who agreed to keep the principal of choice but give him a menu of language items from which to choose. That helped, but no regular school, by itself was going to address his needs completely. [/quote]
