== Montessori's Five Steps to Language Acquisition ==

Maria Montessori identified a progressive, five-step pathway towards language acquisition that encompasses both passive and active learning:

'''Spoken Language''': Children unconsciously absorb the language of their surroundings, forming an internal dictionary.
'''Phonemic Awareness''': Children learn the sounds within words and the symbols representing those sounds in the alphabet.
'''Creating Words (Writing)''': Children learn to combine sounds and symbols to form words.
'''Reading''': Children learn to decode symbols and sounds to decipher words.
'''Reading for Meaning''': Children develop comprehension skills, understanding the meaning behind what they read.<ref>Montessori, M. (1964). The Montessori Method. Schocken Books.</ref>
