Beginning readers and writers will benefit from the tactile experience of these letters. These cards are the size of playing cards. Each letter and number is formed with 1/8" wide textured raised line which is the perfect size for one or two fingers to trace. A raised dot on the lower left corner of the card indicates the correct orientation of the letter and number. In addition, numbered arrows show the direction and sequence of the formation of the letter. An added feature is the inclusion of lines with the letter positioned as if it were on lined paper.Cards are neatly stored in a transparent plastic case.
