Montessori Phonetic Letter Sounds
$80 / 8 weeks
Children will be introduced to all of the phonetic letter sounds. The children will not only learn how to identify and say each phonetic letter sounds, but they will also be matching them to pictures of objects that start with each of the phonetic letter sounds.

You have to admit... everything is way more fun when there are pictures involved!
