By attending this workshop, you will: - Understand how oral language development lays the foundation for literacy. - Explore the sequence of Montessori language materials and how they meet the needs of different developmental stages. - Learn strategies to enrich vocabulary, support emergent readers and writers, and integrate language across the curriculum. - Reflect on how language fosters identity, self-expression, and community.
