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: These 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

Use this alphabet along with a different solid-color alphabet (like red or blue) for phonogram study and word study. Isolate the new concept in the second color (e.g., make all the "sh" in your phrase red and the rest of the phrase black).

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.

Here are a few ideas for using this alphabet:

Isolate phonograms (write these in red and the rest of the word in black or blue) in words for phonogram study

Isolate prefixes and suffixes (write these in red and the rest of the word in black or blue) in lists of words for word study

Compare lists of singular (write these in black or blue) and plural (write these in red) words

Compare lists of homophones (write one in black or blue and one in red)

Compare lists of synonyms and antonyms (write the original word list in black or blue and the comparative list of synonyms or antonyms in red)

Compare lists of root words (write these in black or blue) and their contractions (write these in red)
