Montessori Moveable Alphabets That Won't Break the Bank

If you use the Montessori method to homeschool or if you are looking for some letters your child can use for hands-on reading and spelling practice, moveable alphabets can be a good resource to have on hand. These letters come with the vowels colored red and the consonants colored blue so as to make it easier for the child to learn to read.

Real Montessori moveable alphabets are wooden and can be a bit pricey. There are, however, some inexpensive foam and plastic versions on the market that you can get if you prefer to spend less. I found some of these cheaper versions and have them listed for you below. If you WOULD like the real deal, I included two versions of that too.

Whichever type that you buy, I hope it helps your child learn to read and spell.
