Specifications
The Chunky Alphabet Beads set is a tactile, hands-on resource designed to reinforce letter recognition, letter-sound knowledge and early word building skills. With over 70 chunky, 2.5cm beads featuring both uppercase and lowercase letters, this versatile set allows children to create their own words and names while building crucial literacy foundations. The included six 90cm laces with plastic tips are easy for small hands to thread, enhancing fine motor development and control. Ideal for early learners, these beads invite children to explore colour, letter shape and phonemic awareness as they manipulate and string the beads into meaningful sequences. Housed in a convenient storage tub, this set is ideal for classroom use and small group activities. Developed by Lakeshore, this engaging resource aligns with key principles of early literacy and supports hands-on learning through exploration and creativity.
