Language Shelf- montessori

Here is a summary of the language in montessori education. I'm trying to summarize it for myself to breakdown the key items to work on:

Before introducing Sandpaper letters (1st real mont. lang. material), the First Shelf should be PRE-READING shelf to include:
1. go-together cards (10-20 pairs)
2. opposite matching cards
3. rhyming objects or cards
4. part-whole matching cards
5. patterning cards
6. sequencing cards

Second comes Sandpaper Letters (SL) in 3 color-coded groups presented in a 3-period lesson (1)this is R (2) show me R or put R on ur head (3) what is this or what sound is this?:
a. "Red" sounds are: r a m f b i t g: Sound book has 8 white pages for each sound
b. "Yellow" sounds are: p o n l h u s c
c. "Blue" sounds are: d e x q y z v w j k
(i) first you introduce sound with SL
(ii) then child traces in salt/cornmeal tray with fingers
(iii) then child glues the letter in her own "Sound books" for each child corresponding with the color of the letter.. each sound is reviewed every day...
(iv) simultaneously, "read" the little letter books (that have pics only for each sound) corresponding with sound of each letter...i have the sound pouches or object boxes...use these instead.
(v) another activity- picture sorting according to sound..SL on top & each picture/object matching sound underneath
(vi) after Red sounds mastered, move to yellow, to blue sounds. child may/not be ready to decode the words in the phonetic books..
(vii) list/dictation cards: can use these for spelling/writing/dictation for writing on paper or moveable letters
