- Magnetic AlphaBoard
Many reading readiness programs fail to include or suggest one of the most valuable tools for helping children learn letters and sounds—movable alphabets. A movable alphabet consists of letters of the alphabet —plastic, wooden, posterboard, magnetic, sandpaper, felt, etc. The Magnetic AlphaBoard is one possible solution.
