Alphabet Boards Rubber Preppi Power Kit®

One of our most loved Preppi Power Kits® — proudly part of the FUNdamental Tools Better Than Toys® Collection.

Reading and spelling become joyful, hands-on experiences with this powerful language foundation tool.

Inspired by the original Montessori Sandpaper Letters, Marita — a certified Montessori educator — thoughtfully redesigned this essential material to welcome even toddlers as young as 2 years old into early phonetic learning.

After witnessing children’s fingers become irritated from rough sandpaper textures — and observing heavy wooden versions that were noisy and easily dropped — she reinvented the Sandpaper Letter for modern learning environments. She expanded its purpose beyond traditional tracing into dynamic, play-to-learn lesson games.

These rubber boards are no longer limited to handwriting preparation.
They are powerful tools for:

• Phonetic sound recognition

• Tactile letter familiarity

• Early reading readiness

• Active, movement-based learning

Designed with Purpose

• Lightweight — easy for 2–3 year olds to carry independently

• Washable — ideal for regular sanitation

• Flexible in function — use on tables, floors, during water play, on glass surfaces, or while incorporating movement activities

• Quiet by design — eliminates the typical wooden or plastic clatter of traditional letter sets

• Affordable — accessible for homeschool families and community centers

Each set comes in a custom-made box with handles on both ends — designed for independence and easy transport.

The Preppi System®, created by Marita Pierce, blends Montessori principles, brain-based training, and her signature Preppi Play® method.

Even younger children — typically below the classic Montessori age — can explore phonics, letter recognition, and early reading skills confidently.

Purposeful. Practical. Powerful.
Made for little hands. Designed for big learning.
