Sound games are essential in preparing the child for language. These activities form the foundation of the phonetic reading system used in the Montessori method. The idea behind playing sound games is to help the child recognize that every word has many sounds. This material focuses on phonograms (2 letters that make 1 sound). These mats can be used to teach phonogram sounds, enrich vocabulary, and sort and classify sounds.
