This interactive felt learning board has been designed to help children make the link between a first letter of a word and a corresponding image starting with that letter. The alphabet is represented in three ways: upper case letters, lower case letters and images beginning with each letter. This type of play increases a child's alphabet recognition and provides hands-on learning, all of which is required before a child can learn to read. Felt learning boards are a lightweight, clean interactive tool which can be used over and over again.... learning can be fun!
