Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Defined outlines for tracing
Raised edges give children a defined tactile route around each letter, supporting tracing and early writing with clear forms during independent learning or group activities.
-
Chunky forms for handling
Chunky acrylic pieces provide substantial forms for handling, helping children explore printed letters and recognise the complete alphabet during shared activities.
-
Sensory mark making
Children can press the letter forms into play dough or sand for sensory mark making, exploring print through touch during early literacy activities.
-
Translucent light panel use
Practitioners can use the translucent coloured letters on a light panel to help children examine alphabet shapes through light and colour.
-
Flexible alphabet exploration
Practitioners can support focused recognition or broader exploration of a to z alphabet letters, using the complete alphabet set for both independent learning and group activities.
Translucent Letters
Twenty-six translucent alphabet letters with raised edges support tracing and letter recognition.
Overview
Chunky acrylic letters support tracing, mark making in play dough or sand, and exploration on a light panel.
Practitioners can use the full A to Z set for independent learning or group activities. Children explore letter forms by looking at the coloured pieces, handling their chunky shapes and following the raised edges. This gives them a defined route for tracing and connects visual recognition with early mark making.
For EYFS Literacy, practitioners can present individual letters and encourage children to recognise each form and say its sound. The set provides a concrete reference for linking printed shapes with spoken sounds, supporting the aim of reading individual letters by saying their sounds and developing communication, language and literacy.
To support the EYFS aims of writing letters accurately, introducing print and providing stimulating mark-making equipment, practitioners can use the letters with play dough or sand. Their translucent design also enables exploration on a light panel, adding a visual way to examine letter shapes.
