Join Mariana Bissonnette, Montessori coach and award-winning author, as she dives into how the science of reading aligns with Montessori’s approach to literacy. With over 15 years of experience, Mariana helps us understand how children’s brains naturally connect sight, sound, and meaning, and how the journey from writing to reading unfolds naturally.
In this session, you’ll explore:
-
How writing and reading develop together in the brain
-
Fun, hands-on activities like sound games and sandpaper letters to build those essential connections
-
Why creating a nurturing, connected learning environment is key to helping language grow
Mariana emphasizes that language development isn’t just about teaching skills — it’s about fostering a natural, joyful love of words and stories.
