Assessment Phase
Here are the techniques used in our literacy assessment phase.
Riggs Method
The Riggs Method, a Montessori assessment strategy for literacy, emphasizes a systematic and phonics-based approach to reading and writing. This method carefully evaluates a child’s ability to decode and encode language through structured lessons and assessments. It places a strong emphasis on the mastery of phonetic rules and word analysis, ensuring that students develop a solid foundation in reading and spelling.
Slossen Oral Reading
Slossen Oral Reading, in the Montessori context, focuses on assessing a child’s literacy skills through oral fluency and comprehension. This approach involves listening to the student read aloud, evaluating their pronunciation, intonation, and comprehension of the text. By observing a child’s ability to read fluently and understand the material, educators gain insight into their reading proficiency.
Brigance Test
The Brigance Test is a comprehensive Montessori assessment tool used to gauge a child’s literacy skills across various domains, including reading and language development. It assesses a child’s abilities in phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension, offering a holistic view of their literacy progress. By measuring a wide range of literacy skills, the Brigance Test helps educators tailor their instruction to meet each student’s specific needs, promoting a well-rounded literacy education.
Our Curriculum
Put your child on the path of mastery with our expert guided and hand-crafted literacy curriculum.
Spelling
We approach spelling as a fundamental element of literacy. Our students learn to master spelling through hands-on activities and engaging exercises that foster a deep understanding of phonetics and word structure.
Word Studies
We dive into the world of words, exploring their origins, meanings, and usage. Through Montessori-inspired word studies, students discover the beauty and complexity of language while building a strong vocabulary foundation.
Grammar
Our approach to grammar introduces students to the rules and structures of language in a meaningful and practical way. We make grammar accessible and enjoyable, helping students communicate effectively and write with confidence.
Punctuation
Understanding the art of punctuation is key to effective writing. We guide our students through Montessori-inspired lessons that clarify the role of punctuation marks, enhancing their writing clarity and coherence.
Sentence Analysis
We dissect sentences to comprehend their structure and meaning. Sentence analysis helps students become adept at constructing clear and well-structured sentences, a vital skill in effective communication and writing.
Reading
Our reading program fosters a love for reading by individualizing instruction to a student’s unique level and interests. Through a variety of materials and activities, we nurture reading fluency, comprehension, and a lifelong passion for books.
Writing
Writing is an art, and we nurture creativity and expression through Montessori-based writing instruction. Students learn to harness their imagination and turn thoughts into well-crafted pieces, empowering them to become confident and capable writers.
Oral Language
Effective oral communication is the foundation for strong writing and literacy skills. Our Montessori-inspired approach focuses on honing students’ oral language abilities, ensuring they can express themselves with clarity and confidence in both speaking and writing.

Alefiya from Toronto
“The online sessions have been a great way to not only keep Idris connected to his teacher but also ensure that he’s not losing what he’s already learned and is able to learn new things as well. As working parents we were so happy and delighted to have these sessions because we were worried we weren’t able to do enough for him. Every little bit helps and we are really grateful for it!”
Sofia from Switzerland
I work in education and I am passionate about Montessori style even if I am also open to other pedagogies. I have done an exhaustive search to find some tailored programs for my son, considering that I would be working from home and would like to give him fun learning experiences and activities, but none matched my expectations until I found MFMS. We joined the virtual program when Bjorn was 14 months and since then I have been a great fan to the programs but in particular to the tailored activities and care provided by the team and educators. He is now 32 months and we plan to continue with the virtual MFMS in a long term.
Delana T.
Awesome Montessori Experience for my 2yr old Child. She looks forward to her class every week and ensures I remember also! I was in Montessori as a child and remember the academic and practical benefits I received so knowing my child is able to experience Montessori virtually has been great! As a mother of a toddler and baby it gets pretty busy. We appreciate Ms. Katelyn’s patience and lovely personality, her knowledge and methods has made the virtual learning enjoyable. Thank you Ms. Katelyn and MFM!

Changes or cancellations must be received in writing 30 days prior to the change.
Once class is scheduled, there are no refunds or rescheduling.

How Involved Do I Need To Be?
In our experience, most children over the age of three require very little assistance, provided the daily materials are ready for their use at the start of class.
Gathering these materials should take no longer than 5 minutes/day.
Do You Record The Classes?
No. We have a strict safety policy to not record our children, which aligns with our philosophy that we apply to our brick and mortar school. If we were to record, we would first get the expressed consent from all parents.
Is Your School Accredited?
MFMS Online is validated by the Ministry of Education in the Province of Ontario, Canada to provide a private school education for children K-8. Our Ontario Board School Identification Number (BSID) is 668664. The Montessori philosophy is a globally recognized learning methodology.
Our brick and mortar school is a licensed childcare center in the province of Ontario. Our Virtual Toddler and Casa programs follow the same philosophy and curriculum as our brick and mortar school does.
We recommend you check with your local school board authority as to whether our program will be recognized by them (we can help you with this).
What Are The Classroom Sizes?
We believe in small classroom sizes. All of our virtual classrooms have a maximum capacity of 12 students. In our experience, anything above this compromises the quality of education.
