Abstract/Notes: Using almost 30 years of research, the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS) and Philip Yenawine present the case for visual thinking strategies (VTS) as an opportunity to apply these strategies in the Montessori learning environment by centering engagement with art. The overall goal of VTS is to provide an accessible transformative learning experience through an open-ended discussion of visual art that increases a student’s literacy, language, and critical thinking skills.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori is not well known among the larger community of educators, but it does fulfill many, if not all, of the standards researchers use to define excellent classrooms and teaching practices. Montessori environments are literature rich and there is a strong emphasis on skills instruction and vocabulary development. There are many lessons that address different aspects of literacy instructionbut there are not lessons or materials that specifically address reading comprehension strategy instruction. Montessori teachers are as aware of reading comprehension strategies as any other educator, but I believe there is not enough emphasis placed on these lessons because of the lack of materials in the classroom that would support such instruction. At best, this instruction is uneven in the community because it depends on an individual teacher's initiative and knowledge. Another factor I believe affects reading comprehension strategy instruction is the reliance on the Simple View of Reading, which states that reading comprehension is a product of decoding skills and vocabulary knowledge. While the SVR has been shown to be an inadequate view of reading, it is still the prevailing model. The purpose of this project was to create a resource guide that would provide background knowledge on the importance of comprehension strategy instruction and provide a framework for Montessori teachers in the "Lower Elementary" or "Elementary 1" level (grades 1-3) to use. The resource guide includes detailed descriptions of the factors and strategies that contribute to reading comprehension, lesson plans, book suggestions for teaching the lessons, and graphic organizer suggestions.
