About Command Cards (AMI)
- AMI Language Work #24 — part of the Montessori reading curriculum
- Reading through action — children prove comprehension by DOING, not speaking
- Perfect for ESL — children in the Silent Period can still participate fully
- Self-correcting — the teacher observes if the action matches the command
Print, cut, laminate, and place in a basket on the language shelf. Children take a card, read it silently, perform the action, then return it.
