Young Learners: A Descriptive Study. This study aimed to answer the research&#13;
question: How was the Montessori Method implemented in teaching reading to&#13;
young learners? This study explored Montessori reading activities, focusing on&#13;
letter recognition, phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, and reading&#13;
comprehension. A qualitative approach was chosen for this study. The data&#13;
were collected through applying classroom observation and collecting&#13;
documentation. The research was conducted at one private Montessori school&#13;
in Bogor. This study involved two teachers and upper-preschool class students.&#13;
The findings showed that a phonics-based, multisensory approach supported&#13;
children in learning to read independently. Teachers guided students through&#13;
questions and provided support, which helped them become more independent&#13;
and aware of the sounds in words. The children engaged in reading activities&#13;
during their daily work cycle and chose tasks based on their interests and&#13;
readiness. The prepared environment supported this routine and encouraged&#13;
independence and focus. This study concludes that the Montessori Method was&#13;
implemented in teaching reading through phonics-based and multisensory&#13;
activities supported by teachers' guidance and a prepared environment.&#13;
