Sensory letters are a great way for helping children to recognise letter forms and remember the way in which they are written. In this simple DIY, we are creating a pom pom sensory alphabet that you can use with your child to go over the letters as they learn to read and write.

Using the Pom Poms Sensory Alphabet with Your Child

We recommend matching the letters your child is learning in their reading programme e.g. S, A, T, P in our week 1 of learning to read schedule and using them to work with. Say the letter Name and then the letter sound.

Trace your finger around the letter in the way that the letter would be formed when writing correctly.

[pullquote align=”normal”]It is easier to spend time learning the correct way to form letters NOW! Than spend weeks and months later unlearning bad letter formation in the years to come. [/pullquote]

You could finish it off by getting them to ‘air write’ the letter, use their finger to draw it in the ground, draw it in sand, paint it, write the letter on paper or a whiteboard copying – the way that they traced the letter on the sensory letter card.
