View as

A child who recognises the first letter of their name has a familiar starting point for alphabet play. Offer a small selection of letter bricks and invite them to find that initial, then look for it on a name card or in a book. This collection includes lower-case and capital letter bricks, alphabet flash cards, books and word games for educators planning early literacy activities.

From letter recognition to sound practice

Choose a few letters linked to sounds your group has already explored. Say a familiar word aloud, listen together for its first sound, then find the letter that represents it in that word. Use capital and lower-case bricks to compare two forms of a familiar letter. A baseboard gives children a place to arrange the letters and revisit their choices.

Word building in small groups

Build a short word using letter–sound correspondences the children know. Read it together, change one letter and listen for what changes in the spoken word. Invite children to take turns choosing a brick or reading the result. For children already recognising several words, explore the word games in the range and check the individual listing for the game format and recommended age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which resources help children recognise letters?

Letter bricks and alphabet flash cards let children compare shapes, find familiar letters and match a printed letter to a model.

How can I use letter bricks for phonics?

Choose a sound you have taught and a familiar word containing it. Say the word, identify the sound together and select the letter or letters that represent it.

Are capital and lower-case letter bricks available?

The collection includes sets of both. Check each listing for the letter forms, colours and number of bricks supplied.

What should I check when choosing a baseboard?

Check its dimensions, stud layout and compatibility with the bricks you intend to use. Baseboards and letter sets have their own listings.
