Montessori Flashcards Tactile and Phonics Alphabet

Learning to read and write is easy with these 40 special tactile cards: children can pronounce the words, match the first letters of the words to the pictures, and then trace the sand-papered letters with their finger. The activities suggested below are inspired by the Maria Montessori method, promoting learning the alphabet using the senses. Through pictures and letters (sight), sounds pronounced aloud (hearing), frosted ink letters (touch) and a reinterpretation of the "three-period lesson", children develop phonemic consciousness and hone their ability to combine sounds and letters, which are key in learning to read and write.

Educators can engage in several educational games as the child progresses on their journey of learning to read.
