Montessori: Letter Work

Quality is good.

Great substitute for super expensive sand paper letters in other Montessori shops. My son traces the letters and likes to work with this book. I am pleased.

A very true Montessori book...useful and good quality

Good product.

I love it.

Love this book.. My 2.5 yr old boys love to trace every letter on each page.. The fine grits of sandpaper are really nice and smooth..

My daughter did not find it interesting enough..probably it was not bright or catchy

Es muy practico y manejable para la edad correspondiente.

My son went to a Montessori school for a year, I thought it’s good to teach him by using this methodology. I have an ultimate trust in Montessori system. The only missing thing is, book doesn’t include capital forms of the letters.

Same as my review for the numberwork-This was on my wish list for years but i never bought until my son was really not showing interest in letters or numbers and I started to panic about him struggling in school. Along with activity books its been great for showing him the letters he needs to spell his name and he does actually trace the shape with his fingers. So glad I bought!

Love this book and so does my son! He attends a montessori preschool so this book supports that method well. The letters are all lower case and presented out of order (so kids aren't just memorizing the abc's). Each one is made with sand paper to support a sensory connection and promote learning. There's also a picture to hint at the sound (although my son thinks the "bus" should actually be "school bus."). And of course, true to the montessori method, the letters are presented as sounds, not things with a name (e.g. B is "buh"). My favorite part is the last page where all the letters are presented (out of order) so we can review and see how many he really knows. When he gets stuck, he turns back to find the picture page for a hint to help him remember. He knows most of the letters now and gets so excited when he finishes the last page without missing many because he's eager to start reading. (By the way, we never approach that last page as a test or anything stressful. Just a fun way to finish off the book.)

Le livre est sympa mais le reproche que je fais à ce livre c’est le fait que les lettres en sont pas en majuscules, or lorsque les petits apprenent les lettres ils commencent avec les majuscules et dans le livres il n’y a que des minuscules, d’oÙ mes 4 étoiles au lieu de 5.
