Use these pink/blue phonetic writing cards to develop early literacy skills with phonetic writing, pre-pencil grip. Ideal for ages 3-6. Use standalone or with phonogram alphabet. Key benefits:

Create word lists and stories independently
Encourage phonetic spelling for beginners
Progress to conventional spelling as reading improves

The movable alphabet allows children to build words with letter cards, explore morphological concepts like prefixes and suffixes, and practice spelling all without using a pencil or eraser. Perfect for language activities and early writing development.

Product Details

Includes 20 of each vowel, 20 each of the high frequency consonants n, r, s, and t, and 10 each of all other consonants...plenty of letters to write everything they like!
Consonants are pink and vowels are blue to match the sandpaper letters
Choose from any of our three Montessori fonts (to match your sandpaper letters)
Eco-laminated and read for years of use
Rounded corners (to acknowledge the tactile sensitivities of those small hands)
All letters are printed on only one side to isolate the lower-case letter
Cards are approx. 1.25"W x 2"H and are eco-printed on only one-side (to isolate the difficulty)
Comes with a powerful lesson plan that will bring the alphabet work to life
Pair this with our Phonogram Alphabet (sold separately) so your child can choose from all of the key sounds of English
Display it in our alphabet pocket chart pouch (sold separately)

Created by a Montessori teacher. Eco-printed by parents/teachers/students in our rural New England office.

If you'd rather craft these yourself, you can purchase a Digital File ready to print and cut.

Made in the USA.

STORAGE OPTIONS

Cloth Pouches: Our favorite way to house and display our alphabets is in our Alphabet Pocket Chart Cloth Pouches. These are color-coded to match your alphabet.

Egg Cartons: Traditional alphabets can be stored and displayed in egg cartons. We recommend placing two plastic cartons (one 18-egg carton and one 12-egg carton) side-by-side and hot gluing the bottoms to a piece of foam board or chipboard. Use the lids to help keep the dust off when the alphabets are not in use.

Craft Box: We like the 40-compartment box available from the Container Store because it has a transparent lid that helps keep the dust out without hiding the letters. Another alternative is a velvet 30 compartment jewelry box (like this one we found on Amazon). We tested it in a public school Montessori classroom it held up well...the children loved to touch its soft sides.

A Note to Montessorians

Introduce the alphabet when the child can recognize (second-period) most sandpaper letters (pink, blue, and green). Use the pink/blue alphabet side-by-side with the green phonogram alphabet.

A Note to Teachers

Whenever you start work with any movable alphabet, remember that the first lesson is how to carry the container/pouch, take letters out, and put them back in. Don't be afraid to practice doing this many times before you write a single word. If you find that children are often dropping their alphabets, revisit this lesson as often as needed.
