Montessori: Letter Work

Quality is good.

Great substitute for super expensive sand paper letters in other Montessori shops. My son traces the letters and likes to work with this book. I am pleased.

A very true Montessori book...useful and good quality

Good product.

I love it.

Love this book.. My 2.5 yr old boys love to trace every letter on each page.. The fine grits of sandpaper are really nice and smooth..

My daughter did not find it interesting enough..probably it was not bright or catchy

It’s wonderful for lowercase letters. Wish there was an uppercase version.

Love this book and so does my son! He attends a montessori preschool so this book supports that method well. The letters are all lower case and presented out of order (so kids aren't just memorizing the abc's). Each one is made with sand paper to support a sensory connection and promote learning. There's also a picture to hint at the sound (although my son thinks the "bus" should actually be "school bus."). And of course, true to the montessori method, the letters are presented as sounds, not things with a name (e.g. B is "buh"). My favorite part is the last page where all the letters are presented (out of order) so we can review and see how many he really knows. When he gets stuck, he turns back to find the picture page for a hint to help him remember. He knows most of the letters now and gets so excited when he finishes the last page without missing many because he's eager to start reading. (By the way, we never approach that last page as a test or anything stressful. Just a fun way to finish off the book.)

Muy buena opción, aunque en minúsculas, para iniciarse con las letras. El material del libro es genial, lleva intacto a pesar de su continuo uso. Súper recomendable toda la colección a partir del año y medio, incluso.

Great book for my 4 year old. He loves learning the sounds of each letter. Tracing the letters really helps with recall.

This idea has been pinched! It's well meant but I ma not so keen on the presentation as it doesn't really follow the Montessori method. It's not a bad idea to have the sandpaper letters but you'd have to know how to use them to really benefit the child.
