Montessori: Educational Game Collection
Auldon Toys
Product Overview
My First Words is a phonetic and visual association game that follows the Montessori principle of "isolating the difficulty." It uses a three-step learning approach to help children identify letters, build words, and understand their meanings through tactile, self-correcting tiles.
Key Features
-
Self-Correcting "Logic" Joints: The puzzle pieces are designed so that each word-tile only fits with its corresponding image-tile. This allows the child to verify their work independently without needing constant adult intervention.
-
Double-Sided Play: The set often includes double-sided tiles: one side features the full word for recognition, while the other side may focus on the individual letters or a different association level.
-
Large, Durable Tiles: Includes 24 maxi-tiles made of extra-thick, laminated cardboard. These are specifically sized for small hands and are built to withstand repetitive play.
-
Phonetic Approach: Helps children break down words into their constituent sounds, bridging the gap between speaking and early literacy.
