Montessori Pink Series Object & Word Card Set with Plastic Boxes

The Montessori Pink Series introduces early reading through familiar, hands-on objects and carefully sequenced phonetic words.

All words in the set are short phonetic words. With the exception of ax, every word has three letters. This allows the child to hear, build, and read the sounds in sequence rather than memorizing whole words.

The complete set includes six boxes, each with six objects and matching word cards. The first five boxes focus on simple short-vowel words with a, e, i, o, and u. The sixth box adds a few familiar short challenge words, including words that begin with a vowel and words containing x.

Teachers present only a few objects at a time, choosing words that match each child’s readiness. The set can be used with Sandpaper Letters and the Movable Alphabet, then as a bridge to reading labels, word lists, and simple phrases.
