Step 1: Sandpaper Letters

The first step usually involves introducing the child to individual sounds using Montessori's Sandpaper Letters. These are tactile cards with a letter embossed in sandpaper on each one. The child is introduced to each letter sound (not the name of the letter), and they trace the letter with their fingers while saying the sound. This involves multiple senses – sight, touch, and sound, which aids memory and understanding.
