Feel the Letter
Feel the Letters is a tactile, hands-on activity designed to support early literacy and fine motor development in young learners. Children trace the shape of each lowercase letter using their index finger or the included wooden pens, reinforcing correct letter formation through movement and touch. Each wooden tile features a guiding line underneath to indicate proper orientation, ensuring correct positioning of every letter.
To support early phonics awareness, vowels are coloured blue and consonants pink, helping children easily distinguish between the two. Whether children are just beginning to explore the alphabet or strengthening their pre-writing skills, this multisensory activity makes learning engaging and accessible.
Perfect for use in classrooms, therapy settings, or at home, Feel the Letters offers a fun, hands-on foundation for reading and writing readiness. Ages 3yrs+.
Key Educational Benefits:
- Develops Letter Recognition: Colour-coded vowels and consonants help children identify and differentiate key letter groups.
- Supports Correct Letter Formation: Tracing grooves with fingers or pens helps children learn how letters are formed, improving handwriting readiness.
- Builds Fine Motor Skills: Tracing strengthens hand muscles and coordination essential for writing and tool use.
- Promotes Hand-Eye Coordination: Children visually track and guide their hand movements for accurate tracing.
- Teaches Letter Orientation: Underscore lines help children consistently position letters the right way, preventing common reversals (like b/d).
- Reinforces Multisensory Learning: Engaging multiple senses (sight, touch, movement) enhances memory and supports various learning styles.
- Encourages Independent Practice: Durable, self-guiding tiles allow children to explore letters on their own or during guided instruction.
- Ideal for Early Literacy & Special Education: A helpful tool for pre-readers, children with dyslexia, or those developing pencil control.
