The three-period-Lesson is a strategy developed by French physician, Edouard Seguin. His work inspired Dr. Maria Montessori and she used his three-period-lesson in her work. This strategy consists of the introduction, recognition, and then identification of an object. The three period lesson can be used for teaching a wide variety of concepts and is often used to present 3-4 objects at a time. The three-period-lesson is now a staple in Montessori classrooms all over the world.
How to give the Three-Period-Lesson:
The First Period- Naming
“This is____.”
In the first period, the teacher names the object for the child.
Example-
Teacher: “This is the letter a.”
The Second Period- Recognizing
“Show me ____.”
The teacher asks the child to recognize the named object from the first period by pointing to or locating the object.
Example-
Teacher: “Show me the a.”
The Third Period- Recalling
“What is this?”
In the final period, the teacher asks the child to recall the name the object.
Example-
Teacher: “What is this letter?”
Child: "a"
