  Self-care materials

  In Montessori education, there are materials such as practicing pouring water from a kettle into a cup, which helps children learn to take care of themselves and makes them feel that they can complete basic needs independently without relying on adults. This is the embodiment of practical living materials in self-care.

  
  

  Language learning materials

  Children learn language in a specific course sequence, starting with perceiving different sounds in words, then learning the language phonetically, and then learning the rules of a specific language and the exceptions to the rules that are needed to read and write fluently. Although specific materials are not explicitly mentioned, this is a manifestation of Montessori practical living materials in language learning2.
