EOFEEL Montessori Small Wooden Movable Alphabet with Box for Early Preschool Learning Toy (Red & Blue)

I love the Montessori method, and as a homeschooling mom, I try to incorporate as many of her ideas around practical application of skills and hands on learning as I can into our days. My son, currently 8 yo, has been having a tough time with reading. This is one area where I have not been as great about manipulatives as I could have been. Using the 'teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons' book as a companion to the Montessori letters has been great for my 4yo daughter who finds reading and writing an almost natural skill, but my son does much better with a more individualized 'fill in the blanks' focusing on words from topics he is actually interested in. These Montessori letters paired with words that have spaces for letters to be filled in and pictures of the items that match the words have been great to help my son with his confidence in word recognition and spelling (he knows all letter sounds, and has for years, but he lacks confidence in reading/comprehending the actual word that the sounds he correctly sound out are connected to). We have been taking vocabulary words from his favorite literature (Akata witch series is our current dig, but I have been reading aloud and using audio books because he is not at the same level reading as he is on with literature appreciation) and using the Montessori set to fill in the blank. I think that today, we will work with the pictures alone so that he can spell out the whole words.Short story, the Montessori letters are just what they were developed for, a no fuss was for kids to 'write' their own words. It's an incredibly versatile tool and can be used in conjunction with so many resources, as well as easy to create child-specific resources that you can create. I need to get another set for my great nieces.

I’ve been eyeing this for a while now and finally had the money to splurge. We’ll be using these for our homeschool. Posted next to glass beads so you can see the size. Perfect imo for little fingers. Do have to let them air out because the smell of wood/glue/paint is rather strong.

The box that holds the letters is very well made and sturdy. The letters can be easily sorted back into the box thanks to the stenciled letters in each slot.Nice product for learning to read and spell - Montessori style.

I bought a movable alphabet and a working rug. These two products are perfect to use together. My 7 y/o son have never liked to learn before. Now with them, he has become fond of learning. This is a great teaching aid!

The letters come well packed and arrived in perfect condition. there are 5 units of each consonant (red painted) and 10 of each vowel (blue color). Very good material. I'm delighted with the purchase.
