Language Art Rationale Paper
Auto education means let the kids check their own homework.There are a number of
benefits, including help with the child’s ability to analyze and solve problems. Control of error in
the materials also aids the child’s independence, self-esteem, and self-discipline. For example to
make the child grade their own work.This will help the child by making them more independent
because of them checking their own work. This will also boost their self esteem and the feeling
of accomplishment.
Sensitive periods are developmental windows of opportunity during which the child can
learn specific concepts more easily and naturally than at any other time in their lives. A child in
the sensitive period will show an especially strong interest or inclination toward certain activities
or lessons. You can tell if a child is in the sensitive period by seeing his or her interest start to

change to like to learn new things. The example can be letting the students write their own letter
just for fun. This can make them have interest in language art.
The absorbent mind refers to the mind’s capacity to take in information and sensations
from the world that surrounds it. The two ages of absorbent mind are 3 to 6 years. A baby is born
without language, and with few skills other than their survival instinct. From birth to three years
they use their senses to soak in everything that surrounds them. The child does this naturally, and
without thought or choice. Maria Montessori referred to this period as the ‘unconscious creation’.
