Children cannot wait to learn how to write, and the Printed Alphabet Red with Box, is a versatile product, that helps them achieve this goal.  Use this activity to practice word, and sentence building, to help them become proficient writers and readers.

Why are there both red and blue letters?

Use both the red, and blue printed alphabet letters together.  The blue letters are consonants, and the red are vowels.  This material complements the Montessori green reading series.  Introduce the Child to this activity when they have demonstrated the ability to analyse, and reorganise graphic symbols, for phonetic sounds.
