Mo021 - Montessori lower case cursive sandpaper letters

In the Montessori methodology, teaching writing begins before reading, using the Sandpaper Letters to introduce children to the letters of the alphabet in cursive script. This set helps children learn how to shape and write letters fluently, all while reinforcing their understanding of each letter's sound. The rough texture of the sandpaper stimulates the tactile senses, encouraging fine motor skills and memory muscle development as children trace each letter.

This set is an essential part of the Montessori curriculum, supporting children’s early language development and laying the foundation for future handwriting success.
