How Do I Use Matching Works?

The Montessori Spanish Matching Works are used with children who are at a beginner level. This work engages three senses: hearing, sight, and touch. As the child hears a word, she sees and touches the concrete object. When the child hears the word a second time, she sees a picture of the object. When the child hears the word a third time, she connects the picture to the object. For a greater challenge, have the child say the words as she matches the pictures to the objects.
