Sandpaper Letters Print (Get Free Worksheet)

The Montessori Sandpaper Letters Print material introduces children to lowercase print letters through a tactile phonics approach. Each letter is made of textured sandpaper—pink for consonants and blue for vowels—mounted on durable wooden boards.

By tracing each letter while pronouncing its phonetic sound, children develop letter recognition, sound-symbol association, and handwriting fluency. This is how phonetics is taught to children. The Sandpaper Letters comes in ‘Print Font’. Print font is basically non-cursive font, which is widely used in all types of books, newspapers etc.

Combined with the Montessori Movable Alphabet, children start early recognition of sounds and combine 2-3 sounds to build words that gives way to writing and reading.

Aligned with Montessori principles, this set encourages multisensory learning—combining touch, sight, and sound for stronger literacy development. Ideal for preschool and kindergarten classrooms, it’s a perfect first step in phonics-based reading and writing.
