Tactile letters are an educational Montessori aid for a child's first introduction to the alphabet. Each wooden board contains an uppercase print letter with a textured surface for the child to trace with a finger. By combining sight, touch and movement, children naturally learn to recognize the shape of letters and the correct direction of hand movement.
Uppercase print letters in the American standard are particularly suitable for learning the Latin alphabet without diacritics, for example when becoming familiar with English. The aid develops concentration, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination and prepares the hand for later writing.
