Intro to Letters

A proven methodology, presented in a clean, beautiful design.
Intro to Letters brings the alphabet to your child’s fingertips. Based on the Montessori activity known as Sand Paper Letters, these activities utilize sight, sound and touch to help your child learn the letters, while also learning the correct method of creating them. We recommend it for children showing an interest in language and letters.

Maria Montessori Says...

“The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.”
— Maria Montessori
“It is the child who makes the man, and no man exists who was not made by the child he once was.” — Maria Montessori
"One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child."
— Maria Montessori

Sound Cards: Tap to Record

Intro to Letters includes a very special feature, a section that allows your child to learn sounds, phonograms and names. There's nothing quite like hearing your own voice. Try it out!

Practice, Practice, Practice

If you child wants to trace on a specific letter or phonogram, a practice mode is included that allows them to choose what they would like to work on.

Phonograms

In addition to the letters of the alphabet, your child will also learn their phonograms (letter combinations) while tracing their sounds with gentle and soothing demonstrations.

"R" is for Random

'Random' mode isolates small groups of letters or phonograms, allowing your child to focus on them and trace them into memory.

Do the Shuffle

Included in our flashcard section is a swipe function that allows your child to shuffle through the alphabet as they please.

Parental Guidance

Helpful tips are included throughout the application to guide you as you help your child. They gracefully fade away as the activity continues.

No Reading Required

While there are notes for parents, the entire app can be navigated without reading. Elements are represented visually using color and large shapes so they can be recognized by pre-readers.
Alpha Writer Alpha Writer builds off of the famous Montessori Moveable Alphabet, with a little help from some illustrations by Zeptonn. With a unique non-linear format, the only limit is your imagination.

Write words phonetically, based on the beautiful illustrations, or write a story in the freeform writing section. Words and images can be combined to create stories that can be saved and emailed to friends and family! go check it out!
