Description
The mat for the large movable alphabet designed by our Montessori specialists, helps take word building, and letter placement to the next level. The directress prepares objects / images representing 3-letter words with a short vowel sound. The Child selects an object or image, for example, dog. They say the word slowly, sounding out each letter clearly. After laying the object; or image; between the 2 blue lines, the Child selects the letters to make the word, and lays them next to the object; or image; on the blue line.
Note, the moveable alphabet letters and objects in the illustrations, are sold separately.
