Reading is a huge part of Montessori education. Montessori kids love to read! We put a huge emphasis on literacy because it's a foundational component of discovery. You'll also find that Montessori students display an advanced understanding of abstract and practical mathematical concepts. In a 2017 study of 140 students — some in Montessori programs, others in traditional classrooms — the students who were enrolled in Montessori programs displayed a more advanced set of literacy and math skills than their non-Montessori peers by the end of their third year in a Montessori program.
