The Large Movable Alphabet

Description

Children are curious, and fascinated with reading. Using the large movable alphabet letters creates a tangible connection between the letter of the alphabet and the sound, phonetically sounded out by the teacher, proves to be an optimal method of learning.

Children trace the shapes of the movable letters, as they embark on the phonetic exploration of words. This is a pivotal stage where their memory muscle absorbs the letter shapes, and provide the foundation for constructing three-letter words. The result is a burgeoning enthusiasm for the art of written expression, an explosion of reading is set to unfold.

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.

My children enjoy the feel of the large letters in the movable alphabet. They work well with the mat and pink objects.
