These tactile letters are amazing. Highly recommended when helping a child learn how to read and write. They are easy to handle and the 'direction of writing' of the letter is very clear (a dot as a starting point and arrows which show the child which way to follow the letter). I would highly recommed them to any parent who would like to support their child to teach or consolidate their learning of letters and sounds. Using these letters for fun activities (feel the letters to learn their 'direction' as a pre-writing activity, make up words - you will need to buy two or three packs as each pack only has one of each letter, but totally worth the expense - use them in sand or other material for sensory bins, etc.) can help a child consolidate their learning in a relaxing way. The size and texture of the letters are perfect.

Fantastic letters. I actually used these as an alternative to Montessori sandpaper letters. I glued them to a wood backing to give small hands something to hold on to while they feel the shape and trace the letters. They have worked very well so far for this purpose and I can recommend them to all. They can also be used on their own and the short instruction manual (if you can call it that) gives you some ideas for how you can use these both at home or in a classroom environment. A great buy for the price!

Looking at previous reviews saying they are small I disagree! I think the size is just right! These have been used for all sorts of things writing, learning letters, spelling and reading! So glad I bought these. My 4 year old son was having issues with writing the letter 'a' ( it was back to front) these helped a great deal. Love the vowels are a different colour. I'm buying a second pack to help even more with reading and spelling.

Perfect for teaching my child her letters

The direction of the arrows means that correct letter formation is comfortable, whereas incorrect feels spiky. Perfect for early writers to practice letter formation, and motivating through the sensory feedback.

There were 26 letters, however K and p are missing and there are duplicate z and b letters.Extremely disappointing as this is a school resource

We haven't got the letter e. Looks like the e was melted or not formed properly.Otherwise a very good product, good quality and enjoyed by the children, great for encouraging how to form the letters correctly.

A nice size to work with, strong and durable. However, for children to trace with an index finger their other hand has to hold the letter, which is tricky as fingers get in the way. If these letters slotted flat into holes/template of the same shape for for tracing purposes, they would be perfect. I'm going to try sticking mine down, although it won't be as good as they need to be picked up also. Numbers 0-9 should be in the pack too.
