Teachables Magnetic Ridged Lower Case Letters Pk 480

These Magnetic Ridged Lower Case Letters come as a generous set of 480 print-font plastic letters, each featuring a raised ridge designed for tracing with a finger-an excellent tactile aid for children learning letter formation. Sized between approximately 2.3cm-4.7cm tall and 0.5cm-3.6cm wide, the letters are crafted in five bright colours and are magnetised to securely adhere to whiteboards or fridge surfaces. The quantity of each letter reflects frequency of use in the English language (e.g., 40¯' a's, 40¯'e's, 40¯'i's, 40¯'n's, 40¯'o's, 40¯'s's, 40¯'t's). Housed in a sturdy plastic tub, this resource supports repeated, hands-on exploration of letter shapes and early literacy skills. The slightly smaller size compared to standard magnetic letters allows students to build sentences comfortably on individual whiteboards-ideal for guided learning. This set engages multiple senses-visual, tactile, and kinesthetic-making it accessible for a wide range of learners and valuable in both small group and whole-class settings.
