{"product_id":"l1","title":"Orchestral Musical Instruments Vocabulary","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Orchestral Musical Instruments Vocabulary cards are text-free picture cards with 12 real photographs of instruments from the orchestra. Students learn the precise name of each instrument through the three-period lesson, building spoken vocabulary before they read. They are designed for Montessori primary classrooms, homeschools, English learners, and intervention settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instruments of the orchestra are grouped into four families by how they make sound. Strings vibrate when they are bowed or plucked, woodwinds sound when air is blown across an edge or through a reed, brass instruments sound when players buzz their lips into a mouthpiece, and percussion instruments sound when they are struck, shaken, or scraped. This packet includes instruments from all four families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the cards have no printed words, pre-readers can focus on the photo and its name. Later, students can sort the cards by family, or connect each one to the sound it makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 cards, each showing one real photograph of an orchestral instrument, with no text; instruments represent the four families of the orchestra (see photo for list)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCards are approx. 4¼\" x 3¾\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEco-laminated with a food-grade laminate, with rounded corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy, clear reclosable bag for storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLesson plan included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplay these cards in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maitrilearning.com\/products\/cloth-pouches-for-cards\" title=\"Montessori medium cloth pouches for displaying vocabulary cards\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emedium cloth pouches\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated by a Montessori teacher.

Montessori is a student-centered approach: the teacher observes what each student is curious about and offers materials that match. A student fascinated by music will choose these cards again and again. Each time is more practice naming, discussing, and sorting. That practice builds vocabulary, part of the language comprehension side of reading in both Gough and Tunmer's (1986) simple view of reading and Scarborough's (2001) reading rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"accordion group\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle text-lg\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use orchestral instrument vocabulary cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, spark student curiosity by saying you're going to do some work with the instruments of the orchestra. Play a piece of orchestral music and discuss which instruments students can hear. Then, choose a few cards at a time and use the three-period lesson to name each instrument. Once students know the names, play recordings of individual instruments and invite students to find the card that matches each sound. A trip to a concert makes a wonderful extension. Then use the cards for sorting games, such as sorting instruments from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maitrilearning.com\/products\/in-the-kitchen-vocabulary\" title=\"Montessori In the Kitchen vocabulary cards with real photos\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIn the Kitchen Vocabulary\u003c\/a\u003e cards.
