Wooden Movable Alphabet in a child's hands
A wooden movable alphabet in US cursive: lowercase letters a child arranges into words long before writing them. Consonants are pink and vowels blue, so the build of a syllable shows in the colour and the child notices that without a blue letter the syllable does not hold. The letters are wood and have weight, which matters once a word runs long: they do not slide when a child leans on the table. Cursive is deliberate here. In joined script a word is one stroke and one thing rather than a row of separate marks, and that is what the hand learns first. For children aged 3 to 6.
Building Words
The child arranges letters into words before being able to write them.
Telling Vowels from Consonants
The colour distinction between consonants (pink) and vowels (blue) makes the build of a syllable visible.
Writing Preparation
Cursive prepares the hand for joined writing, in which a word is one stroke.
