The Problem We Must Solve
- How to unlock strong literacy for all children—regardless of their backgrounds—to help open doors of opportunity as well as a lifelong joy for reading.
Our Solution
- Montessori For All blended its knowledge from high-performing public schools with its deep roots in Montessori to design an accelerated Reading Remediation Pathway to help kindergartners read at a 1st grade level by the end of kindergarten and elementary children grow at least 1.5 years in a single school year.
- The Montessori Reading Acceleration Pathway incorporates the Science of Reading with Montessori principles to offer a systematic, streamlined curriculum to move children from letter sounds to reading books in ten months or less.
- This pathway is an effective tool for all teachers in primary or elementary communities, SPED, or interventionist programs.

“I was so proud of the progress that the children have made! They work so hard! The children are engaged!!! Conferences went really well as the parents feel that their children are learning and engaged...The structure and predictability of the pathway are things the children and I need to support our work together!”
—Kindergarten teacher, St. Louis, MO
monarch readers
Beautiful & realistically illustrated, these books are phonetically controlled to include phonograms and sight words that children are familiar with while offering stories that are rich in meaning. They align with Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop's culturally sustaining philosophy that books serve as “mirrors, windows, and sliding doors” for children. They are purchased separately, along with other books and materials.

feedback
FROM A PARENT: "My child could not read at the start of this school year. She is now almost reading at her grade level thanks to the amazing work your program + teachers have offered her! I am a single parent and I have high hopes she will be reading at grade level by the end of this school year! Thank you for all that you do!"

“The lessons are clear and systematic. The program really works. It’s the science of reading, grounded in Montessori."

“I think it’s 100% beneficial for me...It’s helping me make sure kids get the targeted, repetitive practice they need in language, and it’s being done in a Montessori way.”
