Material
The original material designed by Maria Montessori for this lesson was a set of letters that were routed grooves in small boards. Cut-out sandpaper letters glued to boards were used instead later because these were cheaper and easier to make. I'm not sure why we don't use routed letters instead now that technology has advanced. The routed letter version is clearly superior.
Make Your Own
- These boards were made from pieces of masonite. The letters were first printed on regular paper, then cut out, traced on sandpaper, and cut out again.
- (For a detailed description of how this was done, see Maybe Montessori.)
