Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Montessori Sandpaper Letters?
Montessori Sandpaper Letters are wooden boards with textured letters that children can trace with their fingers. They help children learn the alphabet through a multisensory approach that combines touch, sight, and sound.

2. At what age can children start using sandpaper letters?
Most children begin using sandpaper letters from around 3 years old, but some may start earlier depending on their readiness and interest.

3. How do sandpaper letters help with writing?
By tracing the textured letters, children strengthen fine motor control, learn correct letter formation, and prepare their hands for holding a pencil.

4. Are sandpaper letters only for Montessori classrooms?
No. While they are a core Montessori material, sandpaper letters are also highly effective in preschools, homeschooling, and at home for extra literacy support.

5. What is the difference between uppercase and lowercase sandpaper letters?
