Mostly it is their simplicity and the fact that they provide keys for the children to discover something that is beyond what lies on the surface. The Language Materials have some inherent elements in common with the Sensorial Materials. The children of illiterate families had began to write and to read spontaneously after working with very simple materials: the Sandpaper Letters - that gave them the shape of the letters the Movable Alphabet - that allowed them to arrange these letters to form words and the Metal Insets - that made it possible for the children to control a writing instrument… thus, the importance of the Montessori Language Materials. Visitors came from all over the world to see Maria Montessori’s “miracle children,” the children in her first Casa dei Bambini in Rome.
