Overview
The Moveable Alphabet allows the child to compose words before the hand is ready for pencil writing, separating the intellectual act of encoding from the physical act of handwriting. The child segments spoken words into individual phonemes and selects the corresponding letter symbols.
Objectives
What the child gains from this work
Segment CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words into individual phonemes. Select correct letter symbols to represent each sound in sequence. Experience the encoding process — translating spoken language into written symbols. Build confidence in independent word construction. Reinforce left-to-right directionality.
