Vertebrates 3-Part Card Starter Set (5 Mini-Packs)

Children are naturally drawn to the living things that surround us. All types of creatures, great and small, fascinate the young child. These cards introduce children not only to the wondrous variety of living things, but also to the way we organize these creatures into zoological groups. Each of the five packets in this set (birds, fish, amphibians, mammals, and reptiles) contains 6 subjects that show the diversity of each zoological class in a 3-part format. A wonderful literacy-building teaching material, 3-part cards are standard in Montessori classrooms. Use the photo-only card as flash cards in vocabulary lessons and for sorting activities. Use all 3-parts with children who are beginning to read single words. Children read the separate word label, match it to the picture, and then check their own work with the labeled cards. This makes it possible for beginning readers to practice reading anytime, without help all while immersing themselves in scientific discovery. How wonderful.
