________________________________
Maria Montessori believed that vertical grouping was a part of our natural development and that grouping children by their age was against our social nature. In order to develop individually, children need to be free to learn at their own pace. It is therefore an aid by vertical grouping to develop individually, since they can follow and guide each other from different levels of development rather than their current age group.
Vertical grouping is of great benefit for both the younger and older groups. For example, when the older child is guiding a younger child into new knowledge or skill, he is repeating what he has learned himself. This will help organize his knowledge in his own mind, or it will be a practice to perfect his skill, in both cases it will become more firmly planted in his memory. An older child can also relate to the misunderstandings and difficulties the younger child might have while learning which creates a natural empathy and patience.The younger child often seems to be very interested in what the older child is doing and is given the opportunity to observe and learn from them.
