There are 3 aspects of the language area: speaking, writing and reading. Children are exposed to spoken language by way of classified cards, reading stories and poems, and playing sound games where they identify sounds (letters) and their corresponding objects. They are then introduced to the written aspect of language through activities such as the sandpaper letters (introducing the child to the symbol of letter by way of their hand) and the moveable alphabet (forming words with the phonetic sounds which they have learned). Children then start to read phonetically, thus working towards reading of full sentences!

Located in the Metrotwon area of Burnaby B.C., Burnaby Montessori School (BMS) is a fully accredited learning institution licensed with both Fraser Health and the Independent School Branch.
