Montessori Sandpaper Letters | Black & White Montessori Letters Set w/ 3.5"x2.8" Lowercase & Uppercase Sand Paper Letters Cards | Sensory Sandpaper Letters Montessori | alphabet sandpaper letters

My son has ASD and is a tactile learner. He has trouble with staying focus and loses interest easily. Learning the alphabets has been a challenge but with these sandpaper letters its made things easier for us. Anytime we get stuck on a word ( spelling or letter identification) I bring these out and have him trace his fingers along the letter (sandpaper) Great quality. Love the color. Vowels are black wood with white letter, consonants are white wood with black letter Nice wooden holder to store wooden sandpaper letters Nice size

Very helpful. It was suggested to us from our son teacher and did the job done. Only downside, I thought they were pricey for our budget and while needed to get two set to have lower and upper cases ones.

I purchased these sandpaper letters to use with a 4 year old I tutor. They arrived in a timely manner and are of very good quality. I also had a few questions for the company and they have excellent customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate in buying again from them. Just know ahead of time that the return policy is different because they are part of marketplace.

I like to incorporate multisensory options when going over letters and letter sounds. So we have writing letters in multisensory sand and now sandpaper letters. They are perfect!

Good quality, made well, my toddler rarely engages with it at 3 maybe I gave it late. I’d still recommend for younger aged

They would be perfect if the sandpaper was a finer grade, not so rough on the fingers

I am an internationally certified (AMI) Montessori educator. I have been working in traditional preschool classrooms and experimenting with whether it is possible to integrate Montessori materials and presentation/ instructional methods into a "traditional" American preschool classroom setting (ie NAEYC, "learning centers" style, licensed programming) for almost two years now. It is currently 2024 as I write this review. The short answer is yes, using Montessori materials as a trained Montessorian, while working in a non-Montessori classroom IS possible under the right circumstances! It's never going to be a full-blown, bead chains Montessori classroom experience because it's not meant to be. But for certain core academic concepts (literacy, math, handwriting, practical life, sensorial), I have found that Montessori materials used and presented correctly are absolutely bolstering the learning of students in a non-Montessori preschool setting. To help these kids out with handwriting and literacy, I purchased a lowercase set of sandpaper letters from Amazon that is your classic pink and blue paint with tan sandpaper lettering; and then I discovered this uppercase black-and-white set designed by moms in Hawai'i and produced in China, that is about the same size as my lowercase set. What I Iove about this particular product is that it is black and white, which differentiates in the mind of the child uppercase from lowercase. These days, all the children are showing up to preschool either not knowing how to write at all, or someone erroneously showed them how to write in only uppercase. Idk where parents are getting the idea that this is the way to learn how to write, but as a professional educator, I then have to re-teach all these kids how to write with lowercase letters. And believe me when I say it's not easy because they don't understand that the American English alphabet has different casing. English is not like Arabic or Kanji, moms and dads of America-- more of our alphabet appears in lowercase. If you don't believe me, just look at this paragraph and count for yourself. Therefore, having this completely different color uppercase sandpaper letter set, that still follows the traditionally-correct Montessori methodology of separating the vowels from the consonants, is EXTREMELY helpful for my professional purposes. The children can then see, distinctly, beyond the shadow of a doubt, because the colors are completely different, that uppercase writing/script is NOT the same as lowercase. and having a different color sandpaper letter set altogether allows me to create exercises to help these poor confused kids out. My only feedback with this set is that the sandpaper grit is way too high-- it's SUPER abrasive, which I believe is a testament to the fact that untrained moms created it, and probably didn't run their prototype by a trained professional Montessorian. So when I have the children use them, I have to warn them, and instruct them to touch it very gently so they don't scrape their poor little fingerprints off. The possible upside to the higher grit is that it might last way longer when used across several years of teaching. But for now mine are brand new so it's too early to tell how they will wear having 20 kids touch them all year. Overall, I'm very pleased and glad these exist!

I just now got to using this with my son for homeschooling and it’s missing the letter T.
